I would love to be able to do some volunteer work with young people, but am not getting too far with responses. Any replies would be much appreciated.

Hi Dan, If you wish to volunteer with the preschool and primary schools for kids with disabilities in an integrated setting in Kerala, near Thrissur, let me know by Private Message. Thanks, Diana

Hi Diana, many thanks I will, I just can't seem to find the PM button!

It will be available to you after 5 posts and ten days membership.

LOL. Well, that should do it

(--> Checking: No, it doesn't. Maybe the mark is 10+? I'm never sure of it.)

Either of you could create a free disposable webmail address for the purpose, then post it here. Be aware anyone could contact you on that address pretending to be the other. Posting your private email address is not advised, for all the obvious reasons.

Well I guess

I'll keep on

trying until

I get there

so hopefully I don't have to do a hundred!

machadinha · May 15th, 2008, 03:51

LOL. I reckon the mods won't like you for this

If it were 10+, you should have been there now. But you aren't. And your period of membership should be well long enough.

I guess if one of the moderators sees this they can ask The Boss to check if there's some bug or so.

Patience. Peace

(--> Er, wait: Have you checked your profile/user settings to see if you haven't disabled PM's? There's a couple of ways to get to your profile, but just click your username in bold at top right of screen ("welcome blah!") to be taken straight there. You'll want to check your "options" or something, in the left menu.

--> Thinking some more though: That shouldn't stop you from being able to PM others I don't think. Have you tried again?)

---at least the 'send a PM...' option now shows when clicking on your name to the left of the post.

By the way, yes, this is an inconvenience, but the restriction really was needed to prevent spam and other forms of abuse.

machadinha · May 15th, 2008, 12:43

LOL. It's funny though: it works now; it didn't before when Dan had run up 11 posts by multi-posting (note after merging he has far less again). No idea what's going on. Maybe some power that be intervened? Or did he activate his PM function after all?

Confused? You won't be....

Alls well that ends well. We have 1st Contact.

Hi all,

Long time no post. Sorry have been really busy with lots of charitable work myself. Actually I am organizing a few nice events in Holland to be able to collect enough money for a charitable organization in Pondicherry. Check this out http://www.befriend.nl/english/index.html.

I have a question too: I would like to send a few things to this orphanage in Pondicherry. Would anyone be travelling from Holland to Pondicherry? Would anyone be willing to take a box with them? This would also give the person the opportunity to check this orphanage out. All the help that is offered is of course welcome.

Thanks.
