My family and friends put their gift money to me together and it goes to Africa (usually Lesotho) to buy bees for poor families. http://www.sendacowgifts.org.uk/buzzingwithactivity I do not like them wasting money on the usual Christmas odds and ends and feel a gift sent there in my name is far better than that. Then of course there is always Bees for Development. http://www.beesfordevelopment.org/ Have a long history of this sort of work. -- Murray McGregor *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
