The Network: TUFH office in Maastricht seeks your help

Dear students,

As you may probably know, The Network: TUFH publishes its biannual Newsletter. This Newsletter is being edited, designed, printed and mailed in the Netherlands. The printing is of a very good quality, but we can imagine that it is possible to get the same high standing quality for a lower price elsewhere. Therefore we would like to explore the possibility of printing the Newsletter in a developing country, like Mexico, Vietnam, India and the Philippines.

This is where we are seeking your collaboration: we would like to ask the students who are living in one of the countries mentioned above, to find out for us what the costs are of printing a Newsletter containing 28 pages, 32 pages and 40 pages (circulation of 4000) at your local printing office. You best take one of our Newsletters with you, so that the printer can get a good idea of what we want (for example what kind of paper we like to use).

We hope to get a lot of reactions from you; we are really counting on you. Our final aim is to find a local printing office with which we can do business; the student who helped us in bringing this about (by finding the office for us and being our intermediator), will be ‘rewarded’ with a fee waiver for the Network: TUFH Conference in 2006 (Belgium) or 2007 (Uganda)!

For all of your price quotes (or any questions), please contact the Newsletter editors at m.stijnen@oifdg.unimaas.nl (fax: 00-31-43 3885639). If possible, please send your reactions before March 15.

Thanks all!
