I have been managing the expenses, paying my staff, not taking any salary, using my money to buy a few hundred pieces to give away to some schools as no other person or organization was ready and those governments that were ready, I had little capacity to meet their process challenges. (If you see the RFP from UP, they need $10 Million in earnest money; every order requires a bank guarantee for the like amount; everyone who is selling has stronger muscle to deal with the governments; they require deep-touch approach and someone being there all the time; dealing with government and going through the procurement process requires several scores of steps and the cost of procurement over a period is seldom below several percentage points of the total cost and anyone who deals with the realities of these decisions, knows what it takes and others are usually innocent of its challenges...)</p>
<p>So, there are many facets to making something happen. You are right in what you feel and the world is right in its own way. In case helping the underprivileged children, who have only one life each is your gaol then while delays may not hurt you, do keep them deprived and you may want to find a way to reach them sooner. As a volunteer to the cause having put all I have on the block, including the political capital and personal resources that I could muster, I would urge that reaching them sooner is way more productive than keep them waiting for next couple decades. And better to know the devil as well than be victims of innocence. </p>
