Hi, Maya:<br /><br />Thank you for your email and the heads-up about your name. Silly me, I didn't connect Maya and Miaad. I thought you might be from the South Pacific or South America.<br /><br />Your heart must break when you think of home. We in the West have certainly made a mess of things.<br /><br />I'm glad you're putting your local knowledge to good use. I'm sure by the time you finish your studies, you'll be quite an expert.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for letting me know about your homeland. &nbsp;I understood the intellectual side to your essays before. Now, I'll understand the heart.<br /><br /><br />Best wishes - George (who, by the way, is in Canada)
