Sponsors (maybe you?) commit to transferring a small regular amount (let\u2019s say R50 or 5 \u20ac) every month for one year, from December 2019 until November 2020. When enough people get involved, these regular amounts really add up. Of course, we\u2019ll be very happy if sponsors extend their support beyond that, but we will check in with everyone after a year to see if that is possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But, please remember, one-off donations are also very, very welcome!

There will be a prize draw in Berlin for our German supporters (unfortunately, we can&#8217;t open it up to everyone, as postage fees are too high).<\/p>\n<p>The prizes last year included 3 &#8220;I love TROUBLE&#8221; pens, 5 packets with home-baked cookies and the grand prize: magnetic picture frames.
