Most desis have an NRE account in india (ICICI and HDFC getting the bulk of customers) and for those who dont, they can send the funds through an account holder which still keeps everything kosher. 2) They (donors) may be able to use services like remit2india to donate. Again, you will get a cheque or draft which is in rupees. It's worth investigating this angle a little bit more. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
