Hi. We are a UK registered charity called Virtual Development UK and we run a telemedicine project in Africa called "The Virtual Doctor Project", which uses the local mobile broadband network to connect rural clinics in very poor regions where there are no doctors, with doctors and other medical specialists around the world, for diagnostic and treatment advice, via the internet. We currently have three sites in Zambia with a further three being added next month. As with any charity we are always looking for innovative ways to raise funding and Jonathan (No_2) has been talking us through bitcoin and how accepting donations on our website in bitcoin would be a good idea. We are very interested in finding out more about what would be required of us to do that, and also whether there are opportunities here in the UK or in Africa for us to use bitcoin for our purchases.
