My story
Why Practical Action (ITDG)?
John supported this charity because it
works to provide appropriate technology (i.e. can be maintained and
repaired by local people) to relieve poverty and poor living
conditions in third world countries.
When my brother Peter
was working for ITDG in Sudan developing his river current turbine,
John built a data logger for Peter's river current speed meter, and
John also helped Peter test a prototype turbine in Osney lock one
cold winter weekend.
Additionally, 'Practical Action' perfectly
expresses John's way of helping others his whole life'
With many thanks for your donation in memory of John.
All best wishes
Elspeth
