A most generous act
A few weeks ago I asked if anyone had any suggestions for books on astronomy for a 7yo boy who obsessed with planets, stars and space.
I had a few responses but one particularly generous IIS member (who asked to remain anonymous) offered a couple of books and a brand new Galileoscope. This was completely free of charge including the postage. It arrived tonight and I have delivered them to the child's grand parents who will pass them on soon.
As an extra, the donor included a second Galileoscope as well so I am pondering how to use that.
It reminds me that the IIS community is, by and large, a generous and giving group, and we should be proud to belong to such a group and also to the wider amateur astro community around the world.
Cheers
Malcolm
