General Notes

1) All income for the financial year has been by way of donations. General donations to Compassion Response Network were used to further the objects of the company, which in the recent year were expended mostly on preparation for and funding of the Kinshasa Imusil project. A small amount of funds was expended in planning for a treatment project in Harare which has now been postponed indefinitely. Some funds were used for the construction and gifting of healing devices to service groups in poor nations.

2) A donation of AUD$100.00 was specified for books and service needs of a co-worker in Russia.

3) A Celeron computer valued at $999.00 with accessories valued at $108.95 was gifted to CRN on 20 April 2004, to be used in central office administration.

4) The most important blood tests required for a comparative survey included the “triple test” of bDNA viral load count + CD4 immunity cell count and a full blood count. Each patient requires a triple test pre-treatment, and at 2-month, 4-month and 6-month stages after treatment commences. At the time of the commencement of the Kinshasa Imusil project, laboratory facilities for these crucial tests were not available in Kinshasa and so blood specimens had to be delivered via private courier to Toga Laboratories in Johannesburg South Africa. From April 2004, triple test laboratory facilities were available in Kinshasa, and so subsequent triple tests were assessed in Kinshasa.

5) A telegraphic bank transfer of AUD$879.98 made on 21 July 2003, for the Harare Project. This was received as 338 UK pounds, equivalent to US$540.90. Adding the surplus of US$53.40 of the previous financial year, this provided a total of US$594.30 to be spent on computer and office needs to support HIV/AIDS work in Harare. This in part covered the costs for a DSTV decoder (US$345), a hard drive for compute rr (US$142), and a surge protector (US$166).

6) Over the year 1/July/03 to 30/June/04 AUD$6,543.90 was sent over to Albert Mananga, coordinator of the Kinshasa Imusil Project. This was received in Kinshasa as US$4,397.30. Details of expenditure are provided in Kinshasa Imusil Project Financial Statement below.

Notes on Expenditure for Kinshasa Imusil Project

a) Private courier delivery of blood samples to Johannesburg cost US$250 per trip. There were two deliveries to Johannesburg and one advance booking which could not be refunded when triple blood tests became available in Kinshasa.
b) Triple Blood tests are provided pre-treatment, and at 2-month, 4-month and 6-month post treatment for each patient. It consists of bDNA viral load count (US$70 in Kinshasa), CD4 immunity cell count (US$25 in Kinshasa) and full blood count (US$20 in Kinshasa).
c) Secondary blood tests blood tests are all available in Kinshasa. They are provided pre-treatment and 6-months post treatment. Each set (creatinine, urea, ferritin, liver function and liver enzymes) costs US$125 per patient.
d) Each patient was required to spend 4 days under nursing supervision at the clinic, at the time of commencement of the Imusil treatment. This required us to hire the clinic and nurse care.
e) The correctness of the medical and case records needed the most careful checking by a paid nurse administrator.
f) Food was supplied to the patients for four days clinic stay at commencement of the treatment. Meals were provided for the patients also for days of blood testing and monthly medical checks by the doctors.
g) The patients (apart from the first 4 days of treatment) remained at home for accommodation. Thus they required public transport on each occasion of visit to the clinic or to take blood samples. Albert at times used public transport to visit the patients.
h) There are few land phone lines in Kinshasa, and most phone calls are by mobile phone which can be expensive. The US$350 cost of phone calls in May/04 relates to phone expenses of the previous five months in contacting the doctors and patients.
i) The financial support of US$250 over the year was distributed between the two doctors (Dr Tsumbu and Dr Karo) and the nurse. They have offered much time on a goodwill basis, and are on appallingly low wages, and so a token financial support is deemed appropriate.
