~ Request from journalist: The following is a request posted on SAJA Forum from Sandip Roy, award winning journalist: I am doing a reporting story on "reverse immigration" following Indians who are returning to/have returned to India after substantial time in the US. Or perhaps they grew up in the US but are now pursuing careers in India. This will be a print/online/radio project for several outlets including New America Media, San Francisco Chronicle, and public radio, and I am looking for some leads for people to interview in Bangalore, Delhi, Hyderabad and Kolkata (though might travel to other cities as well).
I am looking for a diverse array of people, from careers, age groups, raised in US vs immigrants, to be able to capture different aspects of issues faced in moving to India. Any leads for people to talk to would be appreciated. I am especially interested in people from the Bay Area in California since some of the outlets the story would be published/aired in are California-based. So a California connection would be great but not imperative. My email is sandiproy[at]hotmail.com

The brief, produced in collaboration with the Global Philanthropy Partnership, offers a current look at climate change, providing donors with background information, trends, challenges and opportunities related to the issue. Evidence of climate change impacts is growing, countries are discussing development of a successor treaty to the Kyoto protocol and the United States is actively debating the issue.
Philip Clapp, Founder and President of the National Environmental Trust and now Managing Director of the Pew Environmental Group, and Michael Northrop, Program Director of Sustainable Development at the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, will join Eric Kessler and Bruce Boyd, the Principals at Arabella Advisors, in providing up-to-the-minute insight and offering a donors perspective on the issue.
