Yes I am putting my hand up and if you know where to start I will be there.  I am
waiting for a good mate of mine to return from East Timor with more news before I
make a move but I do not want to wait too long as time is of the essence although
they are going through the wet season at the moment but it will not be long before
the monsoons are over.

So if you have any contacts let me know.  It would be good to get to General Peter
Cosgrove I am sure he would embrace the idea.  I do know a Bigadier General (Retd.)
in Canberral I will try to get to him as well.

Most important though we need to find out what type of buildings they are getting
now and if they are satisfied with whatever is being built or would they like to try
a SB home.  Design is paramount here to suit their climate.  The lessons learnt from
Bill and Athena on how to approach people like the East Timorese should be heeded.

So this list moves in mysterious ways.
