Dear Jaaga Folks,


We are proud to launch the Jaaga Media Center. Clemence Barret and I 
will be driving this very important component of Jaaga forward in the

digital media to become better informed and more effective in 
supporting themselves and creating positive change in the world around 
them.

this month. Please circulate this amongst those that might be 
interested. Please apply if this is something that you would commit to.
