[News Boquete] Fwd: Looking for some simple tools


Arrived in Boquete last week for a couple of months and will be volunteering regularly at the Foundation for the Handicapped. Last Saturday I worked on a small project with a very bright deaf/mute (excuse me if the terminology is not PC) boy (10-12 years old) who seems to have a real aptitude for working with tools. I am hoping that someone on this list might have a few serviceable carpentry tools that they would be willing to donate to the Foundation (La Fondacion) so that I can encourage this boy to learn some simple woodworking skills while I am here.

I am looking for the following items:
  • Tape measure
  • Hand saw
  • Hammer
  • Assorted screw drivers
  • Wood saw and may be a coping saw
  • Rasp
  • Drill and assorted bits 
  • Scraps of wood
  • Assorted screws and nails
  • Clamps
  • Wood glue
If you have any of these items just gathering dust and would like to help foster a very useable skill please contact me by email, phone or grab me at the BPC tomorrow (Tuesday) - my wife will be accompanied by her Guide Dog.

Thank you
