Hi all,
I am very glad so many people responded to my mail - I knew there would be
many good people on the B&S list.
For all those who didn't get the message the first time, I'll renew my
offer:
I will make you a copy of the Black Sessions and Tigermilk (it all fits
neatly on one tape). This I will do FOR FREE. What I would like from you
in return is a donation to an organisation that helps the poor people in
Honduras. That is, children in the first place.
I am member of an organisation you might know, called PLAN international.
Through them I've been having a foster child in the middle of Honduras for
2 years now. I am planning to visit her (it's a girl, age 6) early next
year.
That is, if I know she's still alive.
Anyway, it is a very trustworthy organisation, and you know exactly where
your donations will go.
There are several ways to do this, just pick one.
1. You can donate to PLAN in your country. PLAN has offices in all major
western countries.
I asked them to send me the account numbers, but you might just call by
youself:

money on my account and I transfer it immediately.

3. For US residents Dave gave me the address of another organisation, I
included this at the end of the mail.
4. For the amount you are free. The more, the better, of course. Just
remember, I am doing this for free and shipping to the US is especially
expensive, so keep that in mind while deciding upon the amount.
Anyway, thanks for your help.

There are people going hungry
Far away
They've got nothing on their plates
And you're feeling your fat face
With every single bite of cake
