[Cash-outreach-engagement-circle] EDI Facilitator

[Milka Fisiha]

Hi Herta,

Hope you're having a good weekend and caring for yourself.

That's great news! Great work in gathering people, how does end of the week
sound? Then we have a week before workshop.The poster looks great I will
circulate it.

It would be great to think about who will be in the room as well as it can
help with the planning of the session I.e. community member/housing expert
etc.

I have deadline on Wednesday but flexible Thursday after 2pm or Friday next
week?

Have a good weekend.

Best,
Milka



Best,
Milka
