Hi everyone,

Will one person make this application, or should we do it separately? If 
just one person is the point person, would that be Ange? I know that this 
foundation only provides funding to US citizens, so it limits the 
usefulness. I would like to include myself in the request, though, if we do 
it through a single application for everyone.

Thanks.
Zoe

We are the ones we have waited for.
