Support, not right, is it.Assist, nope.

Bearing in mind that there are seventeen siblings, plus others, even what we could afford made them happy.One thing that I found is getting trust of Banks :) by the people over there,they don't, and getting monies to them as cheaply as possible, I find to transfer the funds in Pesos from Australia saves them costs and other problems, rather than sending in $Au.There seems no cheap way to get funds to them, the fees that are required would be food for them for some time. Let me know if you have a scheme ( I love a good scheme;))and I would be interested. Good luck with you project, if we can't support you fiscally it's because we are already committed, but morally it's great to see and you have our support..
