Email sanjay.basu(AT)yale.edu
(4) Clinic Energy Research
We are looking for someone to research options for energy generation
options, specifications, and grants (sanj and rina, are you applying
for grants on this?). Currently, we have a 3.7 kW petrol generator
but in the long-term will need to make decisions regarding a diesel
generator, solar, wind, and hydro power. See
http://nyayahealth.pbwiki.com/Energy+Issues
You do not need a background in this to work on it, only an interest

performing research on how we can incorporate anti-human trafficking
interventions into our clinical activities.
time commitment: 3 hours per week over the next several months
Email Anup Patel: cor(AT)centsofrelief.org
(6) Microcredit Working Group
We need to build up an organizational knowledgebase on this issue,
because it will definitely be a path we will go down eventually. We
need someone to perform research on the topic and write a highly
annotated brief, with links, contacts, and action lists, that can
provide the next crew of Nepal-based volunteers to start the process
of investigating microcredit possibilities.
time commitment: 3 hours per week over the next several months. Email
Duncan dsr.maru(AT)nyayahealth.org

(8) Healthcare Financing Working Group
We are putting together a working group to explore options for local
financing of clinical services.
See (and edit/contribute) :
http://nyayahealth.pbwiki.com/Health+Services+Financing
please email Duncan dsr.maru(AT)nyayahealth.org
(9) P2P Funding of Emergency Cases
This project is related to the healthcare financing working group, but
requires significant programming experience. Basically we would like
to set up a P2P network similar to kiva.org but one that targets
specific patients with particular needs. In the latter sense, it
would also have similarities with donorschoose.org. This would
hopefully lay the groundwork for a more interesting economic model to
use P2P to contribute to a community-based health insurance or other
financing scheme. Again, see
http://nyayahealth.pbwiki.com/Health+Services+Financing
time commitment: difficult to estimate, at this point we need a leader
who wants to take this on as a major project.
please email Duncan dsr.maru(AT)nyayahealth.org
(10) YouTube Ad Campaign:
We need help brainstorming and soliciting companies to make an add
along the lines of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wn3s2j33oEY

on this. If you have any interest or experience in marketing, film,
or IT, please email andrew andrew.chang(AT)yale.edu
time commitment: at least 2 hours per week over the next several months.

(11) Integrating wiki/blog/google groups/website:
We need help brainstorming how to best professionalize and integrate
all our various web presences, including our website, wiki, blog,
email, and google groups. This is particularly relevant to the
upcoming google grants campaign, in which a major selling point will
be our transparency and openness. If you have significant experience
in the website design or wikis, or are otherwise a good programmer,
Please email Duncan dsr.maru(AT)nyayahealth.org
time commitment: at least 3 hours per week over the next several months.

database for EquityEdit.

experience level of the programmer.

google apps accounts.
We are looking for someone to expand the utility of these, working to
