Hi Lenny,
Thanks for explaining your situation to both me and everyone else in this forum.
Based on what you said, about the need for at least one volunteer coming along to
help you, hopefully many people, whether they be theosophists or not, as well as
theosophical organizations, will be inspired to offer you help and collaboration in
getting this new much needed activity under way for both humanity and the
Theosophical Movement. If a lot of people and groups take part, and coordinate their
activities with you, no one has do do too much. I sure do hope that this all begins
to happen, with people contacting you and saying so in both this public forum and
privately.
Fraternally yours,
John
