Dear Dr. Miles,
My name is Georgia and I am writing to let you know that I enjoyed your lecture at JHSPH recently. Although I’m not in a position of decision-making at USAID, I would like to add, as you already know I’m sure, that USAID does have an Office of Faith Based and Community Initiatives that may be of interest:http://www.usaid.gov/our_work/global_partnerships/fbci/ that may be useful in relation to your programs.
I work full-time at USAID and am working on a certificate at JHSPH so I did not have time to attend the reception. This past summer I worked in Egypt for my job for about a month and believe that gender advocacy is important in Egypt as well.
All the best,
Georgia
ps. Dr. Moseley suggested I contact you directly.
