Tony, Please call me at 202 544-1105, this is Chip late of VITA. This week I have the Director of a small Zimbabwean NGO staying with me and maybe we could work something out with your idea- which by the way is a great one which I would like to help you with! I'm going to see if I can dig up your # somewhere, but please give me a call anyway. I'll be back home by 9pm tonight, but if I'm not there, ask for Treena (my girlfriend) and tell her about your idea and that we should set up a time for you to meet Isaac. He leaves Friday morning and is doing a speaking tour during the day, so time is tight... -ChipOn Mon, 9 Oct 1995, Anthony D Bloome wrote:
