I would love to contribute towards the laptop for Fr. Nasciment. This was a thought of mine too when he wrote ( thru email of a friend who is a neighbour at Clergy Home, had
sent him a basket of fruit) that he has no computer etc. Does Ashley have a bank account with Bank of India, Saligao? Could Rico organise the collection point and details? Can make a transfer from here into the bank account, need account details. Thanks, Zelma & Perviz De Souza Abu Dhabi. On 11/29/07, ANNETTE D'SOUZA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Good!
