* We are generally excellent at responding to questions. However, sometimes our small team is on-site on international sustainable development projects in other parts of the world, and in remote locations without internet or data access. Therefore, we are not able to see your messages/questions right away and are not able to respond until we have internet and data access. Rest assured, we shall respond once we are able.

All the Best,

The CDG Team
