Recycling coordinator A}
Lynch described the Thais as
“very friendly and very gra-
cious people” who were
happy to be here and learn
but wondered whether “ther
told you what they thought
you wanted to hear out of a
sense of politeness.”

he district had planned
to send five senior staff 10
Nonthaburi in) February
1997 as the final part of what
the FCM now calls its
Partnerships Program.

Bat a recent re-evaluation
of the program by the dis-
trict, prompted by a jack of
communication from
Thailand has resulted in the
suggestion that no more than
one official should make the
trip.

Ruth Tolerton, assistant
clerk and focal coordinator of
the Partnership Program,
says communications are
complicated by time differ-
ences and the fact that
Nonthaburi’s municipal faxes
and computers are turned off

at night in case of power ;

cuts, /

Nevertheless, she hag
warned her counterpart in
Nonthaburi that the program
could end one year caclier
than planned unless previ-
ously discussed ideas are
implemented.

Writes Tollerton ina Ibter
dated July 31, “If implemen-
tation of new ideas and 'tech-
nology in the areas of the
Partnership Program ,is not
feasible at this time, for what-
ever reason, then we must
consider curtailing the
Partnership Program without
incurring frther expense.”

A News estimate of
$90,006 in costs was not dis-
puted by Dykeman, who sug-
gested that the program
would have cost a million
dollars in the hands of private

‘ consultants.

“This was good value for
money and not some junket
to Thailand,” said _Dykeman.

Tollerton too believes the
program has already fulfilled
its goals.

“You can’t downplay the
altruistic side of it. We've
established really good will

Program re-evaluated

with another municipality
and in the long term there is
bound to be good spin offs
from that,” she said.
Dykeman points to a visit
from 40 members of the
Bangkok Metropolitan
Administration fast fall as an
example of how networking,
could blossom into trade
contracts or investment.
