Thanks to Mario & Muriel for their ideas of sharing skills. Coming from the free software world, I believe that everyone gains when everyone shares.
Annette, what's your offering "on the table"? For myself, I could offer the following: 1. Mentoring in journalism for anyone, specially youth (even school going if you're determined about it). 2. Ditto for digital photography. 3. Lots of reading material on computing 4. Training in quizzes and general knowledge. 5. Maybe a short session on gleaning information on the Net, but for this a suitable venue and would be needed. FN On 10/07/07, ANNETTE D'SOUZA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Yeh! Awesome! They are following the right path (never let the right hand know what the left is doing......) & in doing so, a great number of people benefit. All the more reason to acknowledge their worth when one comes to know of the same. So kudos to all. >By the way, we have a *water mattress* to lend, only to patients >who are *completely* bed ridden and have bed sores.

Hey M&M that is a very kind act. I remember borrowing a water mattress from the aged house 3 years ago when Dad needed it & returned it within 2 weeks (was very grateful to the nuns then as I had contacted the various people whose numbers I was given but had no joy with regard to the water mattress). It was donated by Crispin & Horty Figueredo & it was a godsend. & Horty taught us how to use it & helped us - so yes I agree that the spirit of caring & sharing still goes on. M&M have gone one step further by offering to train people on how to treat bedsores too which despite the water mattress, the patients suffer from bedsores - very painful. God Bless you all!
