Dear John

Thank you for your acknowledgement. With our ongoing activities that consume so much time it has been difficult to look into other distribution avanues. So far we have formed 50/50 joint ventures since we are dealing in poorer countries and local partners do not have the full financing required. Therefore we heavily discount the machinery, training and installation to make it work. You are very correct that we need a "partner with a bank or finance NGO". We have been moderately successful with the World Bank as a finalist in the "Development Marketplace Awards 2005" a Laureate winner for this coming November "Tech Museum Awards", listed on "Global Giving" and waiting replies from IFC and Verde Ventures/UNDP.

This has taken up much time to source the above and make applications along with building and intalling machinery as well as contining research and development on other grass fibres and reeds.
