Dear TGP Friends,
This is a follow up to the awe-inspiring thread on the guitar maker in the Malawi Refugee Camp.
Many of us keep a stash of guitar parts, and perhaps we might not need *everything* we've got.
If you have any spare parts you don't need, how about we send them to this very gifted guitar maker? To do so, we need at least the following:
- find out where in Malawi he lives
- find out which, if any, NGO is already liaising with the local authorities for general funding, assistance and logistics.
- designate a TGP rep to liaise with said NGO, or directly with the guitar maker. This is key, as this person would need to be able to collect any donated guitar parts and ship them out, say, once a year or something like that.
- establish a TGP support fund for the shipping costs, in order to accept cash donations to pay for the shipping.
I am Italian but I'm currently based in Bruxelles, Belgium, and several NGOs are headquartered here, so I would be happy to start enquiring, and contribute to this initiative in any possible way.
What do YOU think?
