 | I am a pensioner, so I have a
lot of spare time. I use this time in helping handicapped people, mostly through the local
branch of the Norwegian Revmatiker Forbund (Rheumatoid Arthritis), here in Nesbyen, where
I am Deputy Chairman. I am deeply interested in handicapped people obtaining their proper
civil rights. |
| "TUBFRIM"
- An organisation in Nesbyen, who collects used postage stamps, sorts and packets them.
The finished product is then sold; the money acquired is distributed for the benefit of
handicapped children. Owing to the spread of modern technology, fax, e-mail etc, fewer
stamps are being used, consequently fewer are being sent to Tubfrim. The ultimate
sufferers are the children. . Even with fewer stamps being sent in Tubfrim enjoyed record
sales in 1998. All the work is done on a voluntary basis. In 1998 Tubfrim was able to
distirbute to handicapped children's oganisations in Norway the sum of 475,000Nk (approx
$60,000), not bad for an organisation that has four unpaid helpers and a manager.
Save every stamp that you can, together with used telephone cards that are fast
becoming collectors items.
Send to - Tubfrim, 3540 Nesbyen, Norway.
Or you can send to your local 'Sons of Norway'…they have an arrangement where they
can forward packages to ' TUBFRIM *
