I am an infrequent visitor to Flyer Talk (mostly when I am looking for information from your helpful board members).
Like many of you I have travelled to a lot of countries where I wondered what I could do to help the locals.
Thank you for reminding me that there is a way that I can (more or less) directly support local small entrepeneurs get a leg up (as opposed to a hand out).
I have just registered and joined the Flyertalkers team, and am now sorting out how to deposit some money.
Thanks again for including this in the newsletter and reminding me that I can make a difference is someone's life.
