Hi-

I am applying for a scholarship that requires me to have my Gujarati
language abilities evaluated by either a professor who teachers that
language, or a native speaker of the language. As there are no
professors in Pittsburgh who teach Gujarati (that I know of, at least),
I'm resorting to a search for native speakers.

The evaluation itself is a one page form--basically you'd have to talk
to me for about 15 minutes to assess my speaking skills and listening
comprehension, as well as my reading and writing ability, and then check
off some boxes on a piece of paper. Nothing exceedingly difficult.

So...I'm looking for a native speaker of Gujarati (preferably a grad
student, as they stress the need for it to be someone as close to a
'professional' as possible) to help me with this. The glitch is, this
evaluation is due by Wednesday of next week, so we'd have to meet
sometime _soon_.

I can't really offer you compensation or anything like that, but if
you'd be willing to help me out of the sheer goodness of your heart, I
would really, really appreciate it. 

Please write me back at this address, or call me at 621-8227 if you
would be able to help me. (Or if you know someone else who might be able
to help, feel free to suggest them to me...)

Thanks,
Neema Avashia

"I am not a courageous person by nature. I have simply discovered that,
at certain key moments in this life, you must find courage in yourself,
in order to move forward and live. It is like a muscle and it must be
exercised, first a little, and then more and more. All the really
exciting things possible during the course of a lifetime require a
little more courage than we currently have. A deep breath and a leap."
