Many thanks to Willem Montagne and Geoff Stow for their contributions.

Willem is one of a small industrious group of Exeter people renovating donated hand tools for use in selected African countries where Tools For Self Reliance, a national charity, has partner groups which ensure the tools go to people who can make good use of them. If you can provide tools, please contact Willem on 01392 214325. If you would like to volunteer to help out with the renovating, get in touch too. They would welcome new team members.
