        Contact: bernie@media.mit.edu

        We would like to organize a donation drive for the homeless North
Korean flood victims in major European cities.

        We need:

        1. VOLUNTEERS IN EACH CITY WHO CAN ESTABLISH A COLLECTION 
        POINT TO RECEIVE DONATIONS OF USED WARM WINTER CLOTHING, 
        BLANKETS, UNDERWEAR, SHOES, DAILY NECESSITIES AND PACKAGED 
        FOOD AND POWDERED MILK. CANNED FISH, CANNED MEAT, CANNED 
        FRUIT OR JUICE and CANNED MILK IS PARTICULARLY WELCOME.  IF 
        YOU CAN PROVIDE A COLLECTION AND STORAGE POINT IN YOUR CITY 
        PLEASE CONTACT US AND WE WILL THEN SEND OUT A PRESS AND 
        INTERNET APPEAL FOR DONATIONS TO REACH THIS POINT.

        2. WE WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST YOUR ASSISTANCE IN PLACING 
        STORIES INTHE MEDIA ABOUT THIS CAMPAIGN. PRESS RELEASES AND 
        BACKGROUND INFORMATION CAN BE E-MAILED OR FAXED TO YOU OR 
        DIRECTLY TO THE MEDIA IN YOUR AREA.

        3. WE WOULD APPRECIATE IF SOME OF YOU CAN RESEARCH AND 
        ADVISE US SOONEST ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF CHARTERING TRAINS 
        THAT COULD TAKE VOLUNTEER PASSENGERS AND THE COLLECTED 
        DONATIONS ON A TRAIN INTO PARIS. WE NEED SOMEONE TO RESEARCH 
        THE FEASIBILITY OF THEN PUTTING ALL THE DONATIONS ON A TRAIN 
        WITH VOLUNTEERS WHO WOULD TAKE THE GOODS ON A TRAIN FROM 
        PARIS TO MOSCOW AND CHECK THE FEASIBILITY OF HOOKING THIS 
        CAR ONTO THE MOSCOW-KHABAROVSK-SHENYANG(CHINA) TRAIN 
        WHICH THEN LINKS AT SHENYANG ONTO THE BEIJING-PYONGYANG 
        EXPRESS. THE DONATIONS WOULD THEN BE GIVEN TO THE FLOOD 
        VICTIMS DIRECTLY AT SINUIJU (NORTH KOREA) WHICH IS JUST ACROSS 
        THE BORDER FROM CHINA OVER THE YALU RIVER. SPECIFICALLY WE 
        NEED SOMEONE TO RESEARCH WITH THE FRENCH NATIONAL RAILWAYS 
        ABOUT THE FEASIBILITY OF THIS ROUTING, HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST
        TO RENT ONE OR SEVERAL CARS WITH ACCOMPANYING PASSENGERS 
        AND IF ANY FUNDS OR DONORS ARE AVAILABLE TO SPONSOR THIS 
        DRAMATIC PROJECT.

        THIS IS AN URGENT APPEAL FOR INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE IN 
        ORGANIZING THIS COLLECTION AND TRAIN DELIVERY PROJECT.
