According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), global migrant remittances exceeded $150 billion in 2003, although the actual figure is probably significantly higher due to the remittances made through informal channels. According to the Transnational Institute for Grassroots Actioni, in 2004, more than $90 billion was sent by family members in the United States to their kin in the global South, three times the combined amount of all U.S-based foundation giving that year. -- FN: Frederick Noronha http://wikiwikiweb.de/MyContacts Phone 0091-832-2409490 Cell: 091-9822122436 or 9970157402 (after 1 pm) A film on copyright!
