I know I've been all positive to this change before, but I didn't realise that the page already is split in many blocks. I don't think it is necessary to split the translation into one block for each sentence. Splitting also makes it harder for the translator to follow the contect of the text. On this page i would only have split in two the paragraph about what donations are used for.
