Thus a group was constitued around Martine
and Lionel Mallard, professional boat builders and Nelly Blondel,
wife of the French vice Consul.  Tiago and Maguendram, members of fishermen
families, from the very beginning volunteered to be the translators
and points of liaison in the affected regions.  Their fishermen friends came and helped us to fine hone the prototype and carry out the first tests at sea. Hervé Coutand, naval architect, and J M our maritime expert, also contributed to the genesis of this project. All persons, clubs, organisations and
entreprises who have generously contributed to rekindle the hope
of this deeply affected population are associated with our action. |
We would like to
thank Vijay Tourism which has lent us a vehichle and a chauffeur
to go to villages for distributing the essentials.
