[nagdu] NAGDU Advocacy Hotline

[Marion Gwizdala]

Elizabeth,
    Thank you very much for your message. It is very exciting to get the 
improved hotline up & running. Unfortunately, we are having a little 
technical difficulties, as the company that provides the service is having 
some challenges porting over the numbers. This should be resolved by the end 
of the day.
    As for the live advocates, NAGDU is taking care of this. In the 
beginning, the advocates will be volunteers; however, we are hoping to 
obtain some grants to pay them. We are in the process of developing a job 
description and qualifications for those who will staff the hotline. Watch 
the list for more information shortly.

Fraternally yours,
Marion
