SIL Dudzome Relief Fund - Donation Options

The SIL Dudzome Relief Fund now has more options by which contributors can make donations to assist the surviving victims of the Dudzome boat tragedy which occurred in Ghana on 7 April 2006. Donations may now be sent to postal addresses in Europe and the USA which will make the process of donating much easier for those who do not have PayPal or those who wish to keep their personal information private.

Contributors with concerns about safeguarding their privacy may send by their donations by postal mail and can also use their SIL forum names. Those with concerns about security may send their donations by certified mail.

Here is the latest list of payment options:

Now that the collection process is up and running, the organisers will only publish the names of those who have donated and the amounts they have donated. This list will be updated every day on the Ghanaweb Say-It-Loud forum:

sil.ghanaweb.com

Persons wishing to contribute may still make pledges and offer support and suggestions on the forum.

The collection drive will end on 16 May 2006, after which all funds collected will be presented to surviving victims. The survivors of the tragedy, whose families originally were mainly from the Keta district in the southern part of the Volta region, had lived in various communities located in the Afram Plains in the Eastern Region of Ghana, such as Agege, Agrafi, Hedzo, Kolekope, Kwaehumu, Sakpiti, Supong?Odume, Tanakope, Yamoso and Zikpo for the past 38 years.

We encourage all who care about Ghana and Ghanaians to contribute to this relief effort. To make a pledge towards the SIL Dudzome Relief Fund, see the latest updated list of donations, or offer support, assistance and suggestions with the coordination of the relief effort, please visit the Say-It-Loud discussion forum:
