<p>Hello dears,</p>
<p>Teodor from NC Future now, whom has my contact from the
partnership for the project creation training that GEN just
applyed for, wrote this email. </p>
<p>I thought about involving RIVE, but RIVE is already in 5 ka2
applications and ther isn't human capacity for more. So I share it
with you, in case you don't have enough yet (joking eheh).</p>
<div>Warmly,<br>
Valeria<br>

realistic sustainability pathways</strong>.</p>
