Dear Mr. Krum:

        Thank you for your message which should have been addressed to me at

        bernie@media.mit.edu

        Matt Rosin, to whom you sent the message helps me to maintain the
page but I provide the content. I  transmitted  the urgent WFP report you
referred to and a press release to Matt some days ago and assume he has put
it on the page. I will check with him today and try to get it onto the page
as soon as possible if it isn't there yet.

        Yes, the situation is very serious and I am organizing a new
campaign to raise $100,000 for a new rice order and visit there again in
June/July. Any ideas in helping me realize this or any support you may be
able to give would be greatly appreciated.

        I assume you have seen our page and read my reports of previous
trips and photos documenting that donations have reached their
destinations.

        Are you with the State Department?

Best regards,

Bernard Krisher
