Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Subject: IN MEMORY OF UMA

Manish,

Yesterday , we talked about starting a " TOY LIBRARY cum PLAY ROOM " at our new school in Vadia , in Uma's name

( Uma Ghar ? )

Should Dinesh Kaka agree and we decide to go ahead with this , then , it may be worthwhile to contact Devendra Desai , who sent  following APPEAL message ( using www.B2BmessageBlaster.com ) , some 18 months back

This could be a 2/3 hour PLAY GROUP in evening ( 4-7 pm ) when parents can leave their children ( 2-5 years of age ) , at the school . Besides toys , there could be books for children

Aneree can recommend , what else ( A real life " research project " for next 3 months ? )

This Play Group can be held in large Prayer Room on the ground floor ( which , I suppose , would be empty , most of the time )

A few cupboards would need to be provided

Children could play on the floor

A teacher - and a helper - would need to look after the kids and put the toys / books back after kids leave

Please let me know , if and when , you want me to contact Devendrabhai
