Dear Deborah and Gaston, How kind of you to say these heartening things!
I only met Deborah once in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA and Gaston once in Durban, South Africa. The speed of travel of a pleasant piece in a local newspaper reminds us of how small is our world. It is great to be working together with all of you to do our small part in helping to improve the opportunities, information, and understanding for some curious youth. Our first five years has passed so quickly since Janice Brodman of EDC helped us to get the word out about World Computer Exchange as a willing resource.
