The proceeds from the sale of this book will go towards maintaining a bursary fund, which enables two children per year to receive full tuition at no cost.</p><p>Elana Fine, project co-ordinator, for the "More, please!" recipe book initiative, approached Konica Minolta South Africa in the hope that it would cover the printing costs. She says: "The Talk Shop employs six teachers, six speech and language therapists, two physiotherapists and six teaching assistants. The system really works and children are able to take meaningful roles in society; however, tuition and therapy costs are high and this often excludes less advantaged children. Konica Minolta South Africa's offer to print the recipe books for us has made a huge impact on the financial success of this initiative. We are incredibly grateful to the company, and the staff of the Johannesburg branch, for coming to our aid."</p><p><a href="http://www.itweb.co.za/office/minolta/PressRelease.php?StoryID=245819">Keep reading...</a></p>
