* If you have something you would like to donate that is not listed here, please feel free to contact my mother or me, but generally speaking we will take anything we can get. Remember, Namibia is a very young country; in many areas, we are basically starting from scratch. Every single donation, large or small, can be put to use here.
*All donations must be shipped to me in Omaruru. Small packages (less than 5lbs) generally cost about US$15 to ship airmail; large/heavy packages can get quite expensive. Shipping packages by boat or by M-bag (for book donations only) takes anywhere from 6-12 weeks but is much cheaper and may be preferable.
*Many necessities can be purchased in country or ordered from South Africa, so monetary donations to help purchase these and other resources are always accepted:)
*If interested in donating money, please specify how you would like your donation to be used. Otherwise, all monetary donations will go into the Omaruru TRC fund which helps fund the maintenance and upkeep of the TRC (such as: computer usage and maintenance fees, workshop fees, printer paper and toner, stationary, etc.).To give you an idea of what we're working with, currently our centre funds consist of loose change that fits into a small coffee tin... :)
