well thats news!,
hope they can find a carrier as it would be a shame for machines that
we consider too old to not be able to get to a good cause like the
bakhita center (thanks for the spelling correction btw)
cheers

Subject: Macs for Timor
Hi Kevin
Sorry it has taken a while for anyone to get back to you. My name is
Patrick Fagan and I have been involved with Leeuwin Care and the
Bakhita Centre for a number of years now
(<http://www.bakhita.org>www.bakhita.org ). The program that used to
send materials up from Perth to Timor is no longer is in operation as
the owner of the container company changed and the new owners were
not interested in doing the shipping for free. I think the cost to
get it to Darwin was around $2000 and there is no money at all to
cover it. Saying that I have emailed a few other people who may know
ways to get the computers to Timor. I will try and get a response for
you in the next week or so.
Sorry again for the delay.
Regards
Patrick Fagan
