It would be useful to see where you are in the world. Please set a city/location in your profile. We've included all 194 countries in the world.

How are we going to pay for this?

Through a mixture of sponsorship and donations. We are not registered as a charity.

Other stuff

There is a currently a limit of 500 characters on your post on this site. If this is a problem we can increase it. We hope to be adding Instant Messenger and SMS capability in time.
