I only told you about solid waste stuff BC I thought you would be proud!! Its our Asian approach and I'm just not sure how to crack of on Africa yet... Not sure what to do about Dakar if you are saying the foundation is unwelcome because there are two teams there already (not me) working and expanding in Dakar. I have marching orders in terms of areas for grantmaking. Some flexibility with regard to geography so if you have suggestions, happy to explore. Have you talked to bill about colonialism etc? Maybe you can help change things or convince him to approach things differently? Or do yo think he gets it and its just the implementation that's wrong?

I am aware of the mayor issues, and you have it 90 percent wrong it is not an anti coloniast vision, you misunderstand, you have also told me there was a 173 million dollars in rev , from your waste project. I have yet to sec anything that approaches even 5.. Please be careful.. you are taleneted and smart. -- bad numbers, unwanted ideas. are not good combos.. I can talk whetter you want.

Well I can certainly sympathisize with that sentiment and I hate the thought of any of our foundation work being anything but demand driven. So hopefully your friend(s) would be wiling to take the time to discuss their wants/concems etc with me so that we can put that whole thing to rest - I am happy to hear any and all ideas. Unfortunately, sometimes I can't find a fit for ideas since we do have strategic constraints laid
