Sir

We are a retired couple prepared to offer assistance with short term projects (three to four months) in countries in the Pacific region.

We would prefer this to be outside the hur ricane season.

We are financially self-sufficient and would require no salary. Assistance towards air fares and in finding suitable accomodation would be appreciated if this

is possible.

We have experience in several Pacific cultures as tourists, but have attempted to live at local level not at Western-style hotels.

We envisage helping projects on an advisory basis rather than doing a specific job. We would like to pass on our experi ence and expertise to local people where this would be useful both during and after our involvement.

Our previous careers equipped us with

the following qualifications:

Husband (aged 73) - welfare adminis tration and personnel management; good at general handyman work and a hobby

gardener.

Wife (aged 54) - primary teaching;

librarianship (has set up two libraries on computer systems); since retirement has

gained qualification in Teaching English

as a Second Language.

We are active members of our local church, and can furnish both personal and professional references. Any government, organisation or community that is interest ed in contacting us in regard to our offer may do so at the address below. All

replies will be acknowledged.
