Dear Chiran,

I have reserved the confernce room on the 13th floor in the SIPA building (420 W 118th St.) from 4-7pm. It is affiliated with the Saltzman Institute of War and Peace which closes at 5pm. They kindly ask you to make sure that you lock the doors when you leave and not leave any food trash in the room in case you will have any food (there are trash cans in the hall). I hope this is okay. I will not be at SIPA on Friday so I wish you the best. Please let me kinow if anything changes. The room is 1302.

Best.

Paramendra,

Forwarding you the synopis of PIN-Plan.

PIN - PLAN

Under the aegis of CICR (Center for International Conflict Resolution)at Columbia University, the PIN-project is an initiative to explore avenues for extrication from the ongoing Nepali Conflict through a participatory and collaborative approach amongst the leaders from the "Emerging Generation." Emphasizing on the need to constructively engage the emerging generation of tomorrow's Nepal, this initiative aims to bridge the gap amongst different sectors of the society. The project has three interdependent components: i) to initiate a dialogue amongst the representatives of the emerging generation of the "Tomorrow's Nepal" to create an understanding of their respective roles and foster inter-relations ii) to train these representatives on conflict resolution theory and practices, iii) From these very representatives, generate recommendations for a sustainable solution to the current impasse.

The primary objectives of this initiative are:

1. To identify and build capacity of the voices of the emerging generation and critically examine their potential role
2. To Initiate a dialogue between these new voices to foster interrelations
3. To pioneer a roadmap for a sustainable peaceful future through deliberations of the participants

Thus, rather than being outfitted with a peace making mission, PIN will serve as a unique peace-building and capacity building platform. Through dialogue, the initiative aims to cultivate a sense of understanding of respective roles, enhance inter relations and explore constructive mechanisms to sustain harmonious inter-relations.

Like i said, i've already embarked on this journey. I don't know where this endeavour will take me but i'll willing to try it out. I'm certainly not an expert and i know there are tons of inadequacies but, it is definitely a step forward. I very much appreicate you taking the time to furnish me with suggestions on how i could better realize this goal. It is simply a informal congregation of a few individuals to discuss about moving forward in a constructive manner.

The date i've tried to set is March 10(saturday) 4-7pm at SIPA.

Best,
Chiran Jung Thapa
