Firstly, I want to apologize sincerely to everyone for the long lapse of silence since I started collecting pledges for Project Haze Runner.  Having said that, I’m pretty psyched to find out that we’ve now reached the 100% mark for pledges to the project.  And that means we’re now moving Project Haze Runner into 2nd gear.

The long lapse of silence does not mean things have been idle though.  We have outlined some goals to be achieved for this next phase of Project Haze Runner.  I’m going to share some of these goals here for the purpose of discussion.  

The end objective is the article on the haze as well as the short film on the haze.  We would like to invoke support & recognition that this is a problem and make an emotive call for action.

On a month-to-month basis, here are the goals:-

1. October - mobilize team, planning & pre-production for article & short film
2. November - initiate & sustain conversations online, production of short film
3. December - on ground activities, short film out
4. January - article out 

I hope to get some thoughts on what you think.  Are they achievable?  Are they in the right direction in helping us understand the haze issue in Malaysia?  How can we further measure its success?  Your thoughts would help me a lot.

Alright folks, we've got 7 days to go till the MMIG-Desa Water Park Haze Run.  And in case you're still wondering what this is all about, here's the low-down on the event.  It's gonna be exciting, so shake up your typically mundane Sunday morning and head down to Desa Water Park on 9th August!
