Just to add to Fiona's message - I've been "clicking" for most of this
past year (since someone pointed me to the site) on each of the three
computers here. No problems, no chasers, no followup, just a cheesy
grin from the man with a water jar. Considering how little - in our
eyes - it costs to provide a well for clean drinking water (c.250.00
sterling) it's a worthwhile cause. With a bookmarked site it takes
seconds - as does a visit to the hunger site: www.thehungersite.com
costs nothing but a click. There is some feedback but you can ignore
it.
