I'd especially like to see the church groups and the service ' clubs become involved: We'd be more than hap- py to gather the tools and make sure they're sent to Toronto," he said. Mr. Dawson said the Co-op will be collec- ting tools up until July 31. If people don't have any used tools at home, they can make a cash donation which will help defray the cost of shipping the tools to Africa. "Lucknow has always been supportive of things of this nature. I think they will really be responsive to this," he said. For more information about Tools for Africa.
