Dave Futers wrote: I was interested to read this post. One of the UK teachers who assisted with the exchange programme went on to work in a county library in the UK and come to me to offer a container load of books which the library disposed of on a regular basis.
I could not take up the offer knowing the great problems Daryl Martyris had with his container which stood on the dockside at Mumbai, because of a lack of a bribe, for months costing Daryl personally a lot of his hard earned cash. I can not afford that risk. Dave RESPONSE: I'm all too aware of what happened last time when Daryl Martyris sent that stack of computers and all the effort and political string-pulling that had to be indulged to get those computers to Goa. Sunila Muzawar was a vocal supporter and proponent at that time. Nevertheless Dave, if that container of books is still available, give us a chance to organize something to get those books to Goa. There is already an interest from the Aldona Institute Library and I'm sure there are other libraries that can benefit. Please let us know if those books are still available and we can then initiate a campaign among Goans to see if we can raise funds to cover the cost of having the books shipped to Goa.
