[Strawbale] Re Refuge in Mozambique

Today I received this letter from Kuzola Amana who wrote to me in French
from a refuge camp in Mozambique.

I have asked Rene to translate for me seeing that he is Dutch.  I also  sent
a copy to Colin Newton husband of Chris Newton a banana bender
(Queenslander) or Cane Toad country who has a French Friend.  However we are
about to hit the frog and toad and will not be on air for a wee while.  So
some of you may want to take up the cudgels and help Kuzola.  Here it is:

My translation is that he wants an apprentiship in straw bale building, but
where and when I am not sure or in what country.

I may not have read his writing all that well but I would like to reply to
him and see what we can do.

What we need is a few more discussion lists!
