didnt realise you were raising money for zim, ive just come back from a hoilday there 2 months ago.incredable corruption there i think the bit of forex entering the country from handouts is keeping it a float which prolongs its slow death thats crippling the average killing the poorest.the only hope is rebellion or death of mugabe,zambia nextdoor looks like a better cause in my eyes they might be able to get it together.saying that im still ignorant of all the facts and your cause is of course noble.
thanks ron, taking the money there directly myself(looks like september at this stage)is one way of making sure it gets to the right people!getting rid of mugage is the only answer, however we can't continue to let people suffer in the mean time! By the way the cake mostly sponge. Cheers
