If you don't want to mention them here, you can email it to Sok, who can pass it on to me. We are working on a Paypal option at the moment,in addition to sorting out the UK connection. The minute this is in place, we'll ask Sok to update the donation options. @ Ozzie, I'll ask Andrew to look into the Hope Unlimited option. I do know that, when it comes to money, people tend to prefer dealing with people they know. Especially when dealing with donor funds, because of the high levels of accountability. We'll keep you posted.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('274058','kathy'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('274058','kathy','@ Bugs...could you possibly give us some examples of \'transfer agencies\' you use?

You have achieved a huge amount in the weeks since you first had the idea to help the Zim prisoners with multiple small donations. As you indicated above, some of us in Oz have been unable (banking transfer glitches) to contribute to this particular cause financially; however the UK link sounds hopeful - I'll watch Sokwanele for more on that. Keep up the good work, everyone.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('274049','Ozzie'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('274049','Ozzie','Kathy, well done.
