[Sorvi-admin] Digital advocacy project

[Susannah Vila]

Hey Leo,

Thanks for getting in touch. We took a look through your site and it looks
very interesting, but is there any way to learn more about the specifics of
the tool you offer? We have an in progress project which is especially
relevant to your work, and might even be able to take advantage of code you
have already written. Any chance we could hop on the phone this month to
describe and get the feedback of you and/or your colleagues?

Thanks again for getting in touch.

Susannah
