  1. Dear Dr. Budka
    First of all I want to apologize for sending this email and disturbing your busy schedule, I am from Sai Island (Debasha village at the most south west of the Island). I follow regularly your posts related to your great mission on Sai Island.
    I kindly request you to answer/ explain the following:-
    1- How you and your steamed team managed to control the change in your life style during your mission in Sai? (I mean the change in the fundamental human needs from your high standard living style in your home country and the low standards in Sai),
    2- Based on your answer for the above what are the main threats or problems which we have to solve if we want to develop and improve our life standard in Sai?
    3- In my opinion the quality of drinking water is one of the main threats, as part of your cooperate social responsibility could you please advise /suggest a solution?
    Note: – As you are busy now I am not expecting immediate reply to my questions.
    Best Regards to you and your team.
    I wish you a successful mission with all of my heart…
