   Respected [1]Prof. Keith Briffa



   Season's Greetings from India. I am Surajit Baruah working with WWF-India as State
   Coordinator for the Assam and Arunachal Pradesh States of India. Sir, as you may be aware
   the North Eastern Region of India being the part of Eastern Himalaya represents one of the
   Global Biodiversity Hotspots with rich biological and cultural diversity. This region have
   been very vulnerable to Global climate change due to unplanned developments, deforestation,
   poverty and other anthropogenic activities. As it is a relatively backward region  even
   from rest of the India and Climate Change being a new focal area of conservation to this
   part , there are lots of gaps in capacity ,information and Knowledge at different levels.

    We need to upgrade our knowledge and skills on this emerging threat and its implications
   through  formal training and exposure .



   I am  pleased to inform you that I have been offered a place in the 2 weeks short course on
   Climate Change and Development to be held in September 2009 at Skills Development &
   Training Office Overseas Development Group School of International Development, University
   of East Anglia, Norwich NR4 7TJ UK



    As we are in the formative stage of my career from developing countries so, our only
   difficulty is arranging funding for bearing the course fee and Travel expenses.
   Sir/Madam as you are an international expert on climate change science with a wide global
   network, may I humbly request you to kindly suggest some funding agencies which can provide
   grant for attending such training courses in UK.



   I would be greatful for your kind help and guidance.



   With warm regards

   Surajit
