To date there has been an amount of R8 250 contributed towards the chess team. This is a remarkable figure but when you look at the composition of this contribution, you will note that one individual / company, contributed an amount of R6 000 alone and this was the first, inital deposit.
Please could all those who have contributed send me a mail to lester@Bruinou.com, copying charles@Bruinou.com, with your reference numbers so that I can make this process more transparent? Let me know what entry is yours, I will do a recon matching this and I will have these displayed on the site and those who have not been accounted for still, can come forward and we can investigate. Even if you do not want your name published, use any other reference so that you can see it up on the site. I would encourage people to put their names though, regardless of the amount, so that it will inspire other members and chatters to also contribute. I thank each and every one of you for your generous contributions and selflessness, in your support of others who are in greater need than we are.
I hope that this article inspires those who were thinking about donating to also come forward. Please remember that this is for a really worthy cause and even a transfer of R20/R50/R100 will be a huge contribution.
The donations to date have been as follows. We will be sending out another update next week so please send those donations in.
