it sounds like a third party probably an ngo is buying them, perhaps, unless they were donated and putting them in. you know, two questions. number one, is that book in english or is it in spanish? i can't really tell from that image. the other question is, if the group is spending money to buy the book, you know, why wouldn't they spend the money to buy food or clothes or other hygiene elements? why would they feel they needed to give them her book?

people, companies, non-ngo's, to work together on the project.s important for us to create the conditions for the people to be gathered and think together on what could be a new railway transportation in france in the coming years. this format of company allows us to have all of these people thinking together and developing the projectogether. this is the first reason we created the cooperative. the second reason is the cooperative is almost a non-for profit model. we have to generate cash at the balance, but we are not for profit as a normal company pugh did we thought it was important to have this model of company with limited profit to be able to use what would be from the cooperative to develop real transportation in france. that is basically the two main reasons we chose this format, this type of company. anchor: your first passenger line will be from bordeaux to lyons -- why did you pick this route? >> when we realized the potentl of markets regarding something missing on the map of france. a lack of transportation by railways between these
