Letters
From the NSA of Iceland
Dear Friends,
We gratefully acknowledge the receipt of
£2,075.00 from the friends in the United Kingdom to support
the work of the Faith in the Faroe Islands. This is indeed a
generous sum and will be very much welcomed in assisting travel
teachers and pioneers to participate in the building up of the
community in the Faroes. Already we now see a need for at least one
pioneer to maintain the existing three Local Spiritual Assemblies
this coming Ridván...
The long held hope of establishing a Youth
Café in the National Centre in Torshavn (a project which we
described to you two years ago) now looks like becoming a reality
with these funds and others now available in the Deputisation Fund
as well as the offer from a young couple from Europe who are
willing to short term pioneer to the Faroes to run this
Café. Both are musicians.
We are also extremely grateful for you intention
to place this Deputisation Fund in your National Budget for the
coming Five Year Plan period. With deepest appreciation to your
Assembly as well as to your community for its continued support in
this very challenging task of consolidating the
Bahá'í community in the Faroe Islands,
Bridget McEvoy, Secretary,
National Spiritual Assembly of the
Bahá'ís of Iceland

Public Library Guide?
It would be much appreciated if the friends could
advise whether or not their public libraries display a shelf guide
for the Bahá'í Faith.
We are trying to establish this in Guernsey, but
so far without success
Please contact: Mrs E.Sweet via the
National Office.
