>From the founders, Christina Spannar and Jan Oberg:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- We are really moved by all the support letters we have received in
response to PressInfo 94 in which we told you that the Swedish  Ministry of
Foreign Affairs has withdrawn its organisational support for the foundation
with no prior consultation, no explanation and no documentation but with
immediate effect.

To those who worry: we will not close down. TFF means too much to too many.

But the transition period will be tough. We will find ways to fly in the
future...

Most of you ask what you can do to help us now the Ministry of Foreign has
withdrawn its support.
We think the best you can do to help TFF is to:


1. MAKE A DONATION
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We serve people who want to practise non-violent conflict-resolution. We
help people in conflicts and war.
Our dream has always been to be as people-financed as possible. You can
help us by making a donation.
If 350 people each donate 100 US$ - or 1500 donate 25 US$ - you have
replaced the ministry's grant!
Tell others!
