Thanks for the clarification.

Transparency provided a bus yesterday – we paid for everything else (drinks, food, etc. during the trip) ourselves. If Transparency didn’t pay for the bus, I would try to pay for it from my own money, and I’m sure many of those with us yesterday, would have gladly contributed.

We frooze to death, and we had a lot of fun – singing, playing games and demonstrating :) We were there, because that was an important message to the Gyumri Mayor and Tax inspection service – all of Armenia is watching the developments around Gala! Why not?

PS: The baloons and stickers were leftovers from one of the Spring events organized by Sksela. I’m guessing also with the support of Transparency.

Interesting for me. Is Sksela a registered organization yet, and is it in receipt of any grants or fundings for the production of such things as well as its activities?
