FedEx, DHL, UPS, TNT and Trans World contacted

Dear Sir,
In July I am travelling to Nepal to do voluntary work with the Himanchal charity in the village ofNangi for 5 months. Nangi is a remote mountain village situated in west Nepal, it's a 10 hourwalk from the nearest road! Amazingly the village has a basic computer network with a shared Internet connection - this helps farmers trade livestock, families keep in touch with relativesand provides invaluable teaching resources for the local school. My time in Nangi will be spentexpanding the network and teaching the villagers how to get the most out of their IT resources. As the village has limited resources I intend to bring donated computer equipment with me.

Is there any way that FedEx/DHL/UPS/TNT/Trans World would be able to help ship IT equipment to Kathmandu free of charge? Even a few kilograms of equipment would help immensely. I will of course mention FedEx/DHL/UPS/TNT/Trans World if any media interest arises and will happily keep you updated on my progress while out in Nepal. For more information please visit my blog at

Many thanks,
Charlie
