All money raised is being sent to Heyva Sor a Kurdistané (Kurdish Red Moon) as the NGO we originally wanted to donate to has not responded to our request for payment details. Heyva Sor has offices in Cologne, Germany and Kobané, Syria. At the request of the Cologne office the amount of £8000 was paid into their UK account. All further funds are paid in as they are received from Just Giving, which takes 10-11 days for some unaccountable reason. To avoid Just Giving's exorbitant charges - 5% commission and 1.5% processing fees, and also to save time, we recommend paying money direct to Heyva Sor. The donations page on their website is http://www.heyvasor.com/en/alikari which gives bank account details. Alternatively we recommend donating to Shengal Female Fighters (shengal.xyz/donate) who are raising money for urgently-needed celox (haemostatic) bandages to save people wounded in Rojava and Bashur from bleeding to death.

Shengal in Bashur (Iraqi Kurdistan) is Erdogan's next target in his publicly-announced mission of eliminating all Kurdish attempts at self-determination either within or beyond Turkish borders.
