Hi everybody! While the upcoming Mercy Corps "Say It's Possible" Climate Change Concert with Terra Naomi is no ordinary concert, no concert would be complete without its posters and radio ads.

Ahead of the concert, I thought I'd share the poster (at right) and radio spot that Terra recorded with Big 92.7 FM which is the radio partner in Kashmir for this event. The radio spot is part of Mercy Corps' effort to raise local awareness about climate change through this event. The hope is that this event will educate the Kashmiri public which can be a basis of practical efforts. On December 7, Big 92.7 FM will be broadcasting Terra's concert throughout the Kashmir Valley and it will be playing the new Kashmiri-English version "Say It's Possible" as soon as Terra, Waheed Jeelani and other Kashmiri artists record it in a studio in Srinagar.

We'll have a lot more news, photos and video soon!

Usmaan,

This is Siddarth, your old friend from BU. I thought of you this year. A funny thing happened. I am at columbia b-school and am taking a class with...Hasan Abbas! He remembered me and asked about you.

previously i had an "aol" address for you, but i think that is defunct now. Let me know how you are doing, and if you are in new york any time.

Peace,
-S.
