Hello Parry Aftab,

It is beginning to take shape. The Sydney Safe Seeker looks like a well
researched, purposeful game which could be featured as an activity during
the program for children. To make it interesting for your husband is welcome
to join us, we will work on arranging one or two meetings on the sideline of
the event with the academic community or business to enable him to launch
this game in India, perhaps with some minor localization.

I am going back to the team with an update on our conversation and at the
same time seek inputs from other chapters on how this event (with a select
audience apart from children from a few schools) could be organized as a
Child Safety event that would offer a 'proportionate' advice to schools and
parents.

I will now take this message off-list to discuss some details with you.
However I would invite inputs from other chapters on the thread.

Thank you
Sivasubramanian Muthusamy
