Msg from Jimmy

Dear Radesh,,

Thanks to your previous newsletter I had an encouraging response from Karan Mehta, GMS '76, from Italy.

Deorali is a typical Govt. Primary School They have 35-50 students and four teachers. The schools are much neglected due to lack of funds. Sometimes the text books are 4th hand. Not all have electricity.

GFF have renovated the school, provided desks and benches, built a much needed wire fence as there is a 30 ft. drop just near the building, proper toilets, safe drinking water, text books, stationary, story books, DVDs, sporting equipment,etc. The villagers provide the labour.

This was all done within a budget of US $ 5000, a one time expence. It costs $ 1000 a year to maintain.

It has always been my ambition to have well off schools adopt such a school and for the kids to interact with each other.

The reward is to ensure that the kids have a good basic education in pleasant surroundings and to " FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS" which I preach to them.

Warm regards,

Jimmy

Know Your Customers:

A disappointed salesman of Coca Cola returns from his Middle East
assignment.
A friend asked, "Why weren't you successful with the Arabs?"
The salesman explained "When I got posted in the Middle East , I was very
confident that I would make a good sales pitch as Cola is virtually
unknown there. But, I had a problem I didn't know to speak Arabic. So, I
planned to convey the message through three posters...

First poster: A man lying in the hot desert sand...totally exhausted and
fainting.
Second poster: The man is drinking our Cola.
Third poster: Our man is now totally refreshed.
And Then these posters were pasted all over the place
"Then that should have worked!" said the friend.
"The hell it should have!?", said the salesman, " I didn't realize that
Arabs read from right to left"
