The Pilgrims Office needs help

[Rosina Lila]

Hello you all,
Don Jaime Garcia, the person in charge of Pilgrims' data and communications
at the Office of Pilgrims in Santiago, has fallen gravely ill and a replacement
is being sought.  Further, it appears that the computers at the Pilgrims
office, which are old and limited, were infected with a virus which caused their
Windows system to crash. Consequently, data on pilgrims will be slow in coming.
Further, that the Office was dispensing between 900 and 1,000 Comnpostelas
daily during Holy Week  has put a tremendous pressure on the office.  On Easter
Sunday Spanish TV showed the list of pilgrims waiting to get into the building
stretching all the way onto Obradoiro Square!
Often, some pilgrims on this list have wondered how and what they could give
back to the Camino in appreciation  for the memories, graces, insights,
friendships, etc.  received during their pilgrimage. Perhaps those of us from
NorthAmerica, and other English-speaking pilgrims, can unite our efforts and
provide the Pilgrims Office with some decent computer equipment.
What say you all?
The effort could be organized through Kathy  Gower and her Santa Barbara
group.
I can certainly be counted on,  and I think that I can speak for at least two
other New York City pilgrims who would be eager to help..
Warm regards,
Rosina
ps. Those of you who may be interested in the extraordinary happenings in
Seville during Holy Week can write to me directly.
