[Usha Gowri]

Thanks Arjun
Please call me Gowri.
I think the deployment guide is a great starting point.

"Another way to help would be to help recruit and organize volunteers.
Some of the immediate areas where I can see help being needed is
translations and localized content. Marathi and Kannada seem the
immediate needs. Amit can you please confirm ?"
*
If Amit could confirm this I could help you in two states-Karnataka and
Tamil Nadu.:both in finding volunteers through my network of NGO's in the
rural areas  and translation into Kannada and Tamil.We have translators who
work with corporates..
Is it possible to list our interests in the deployment page?
