Please note that for accountability reasons, we publish all donations received(Donors List ) no matter how big or small. In case you choose to remain anonymous, we will publish the information such that you can clearly identify your donation.

For example, #100,000.00 donated by a Victoria Island based Anonymous Donor received with cheque number 023766148 dated February 9th, 2004. This information enables the anonymous donor to know with certainty that his donation is accounted for and received. Yet it is hard for others to tell who is the donor. By the way this is a true example and we are very grateful to the generous donor.

We are looking into finding volunteers to help receive British Pound Sterling as well as Australian Dollars. We will give you their contact information as soon as they are identified.
