I'll put people on a list. This particular time is taken care of. It defeats its purpose to send too much money. They have to change it and the minute they change it to local currency, inflation eats it up. Inflation is, by various reports, 165,000% or 9 million per cent. You can't talk about inflation. You have to be able to compare, for instance, the price of bread last week with the price of bread this week. The price of meat, the price of cooking oil. There is no bread, no cooking oil, no meat. You can't make the comparison. But we know it is higher than ever in history. So this time is ok. But there will be other times. I can only send money to last a week or two at a time. These weeks are taken care of. But those who would like to help, I can explain how off list. Either through me or directly through Western Union. The critical time will come in 3 or 4 weeks when the school fees have to be topped up. That is a real burden for me. Thanks! Daniel
