Old tapes wanted

-

My wife and I have for many years been involved in the wellbeing of a severely handicappe­d young Jewish woman living in a state institutio­n near Minsk, Belarus. While the institutio­n does what it can to provide for those in its care, it is, inevitably, short of resources, especially those required to provide satisfying work and recreation.

On a recent visit, we were asked if we could acquire a quantity of used video tapes; as many as we could lay our hands on. The actual internal tape is used to weave floor and table mats, teapot cosies and a wide range of decorative items. The standard of work is amazingly high. If any of your readers have in their possession unwanted tapes, I should be obliged if they would email me on: michaellaz­arus@btinternet.com. Michael Lazarus Herts EN6
