[Computerbank] Re: [cai-sa] got any old textbooks?

[jennifairy]

Ive been told 2day (by an ex-librarian) that there is an organisation working 
with libraries & universities that already does this. he suggested to me that 
we contact the wharfies to talk about shipping for nix (apparently they do 
have a social conscience) - might be simpler than this pandora's box we are 
opening (& why reinvent the wheel?)

As part of ComputerbankSA sending computers to East Timor, we have been

the fact that they are DESPERATE for old textbooks...there is an enormous
lack of such over there, and they would be hugely appreciated..

SO!

Can you help? Contact us if you'd like to supply old books, have a contact at
a uni or tafe who may help, want to make a donation towards costs of
freighting, want to subsrcirbe to a journal on behalf of the East Timorese
people for a year - in short, whatever you can do!

Soon many of you who are students will be looking ruefully at overstocked
bookcases with slightly out of date books they need to replace....

At this time of year, when so many are looking at the great stuff they got
 for Xmas, lets think about the people with very little....and learning
 empowers people to help themselves!

have a great New Year btw peeps:)

Thanks,Romana:)
