It is preferable, for the sake of expediency, that equipment be sent
directly to VOLU at the address below in Ghana. However, if this would be
too difficult to do, donations can be sent to the office of Operation
Crossroads Africa in New York, the US Sponsor, to be taken to the VOLU
office in Accra by Crossroads volunteers going to Ghana to work.

Francis DONKOR
National Director
Voluntary Workcamps Association
of Ghana (VOLU, an NGO)
PO Box 1540
Accra, Ghana
West Africa

Tel: 233-21-663486
FAX: 233-21-665960
Telex: 3033 VOLU

IMPORTANT: So that VOLU will not have to pay customs duty on donated
equipment sent to Ghana for this project, please draw up a simple letter
entitled "Gift Certificate," itemizing and declaring all items being sent as
a "gift" to VOLU.

Please send or fax ahead a copy to Francis DONKOR; and attach a copy for
Ghana customs to the shipping directions/instructions on the parcel.
Request in the shipping instructions that VOLU be phoned at the above number
as soon as the parcel arrives in Ghana.
