We run a challenge each month. For the next three months it is all about squares. We have a grand total of 55,900 squares we are trying to achieve and would love you to participate.
Don't forget to post photographs of your work. We have an awesome gallery of the work of the KAS community which is really inspiring.
Some of our members further support KAS by making a small monthly donation through Paypal (top left hand corner). This is invaluable help as it ensures we can continue to ensure that your work is speedily distributed to the most needy children in South Africa. We are deeply grateful for any donation we receive, be it monetary or squares to help the orphans. Thank you.

It's part of our recent forum challenge to make 55,900 squares. Just tell her your name, the number of squares and that it's your first post in the tally. She will add you to the list.
With regards to knowing your package has arrived those lists are usually posted in the Square Circle ezines about every 2 months. Depending on the volume of parcels and the number of a volunteers available it may take some time to hear back. Don't worry though. We have had very few parcels go astray.
We are working on a new barcode system. Eventually you will be able to print out a barcode label that will be scanned in South Africa and will prompt an automatic email to let you know your parcel was received.

I'm not sure if the UK group has a tally. If they do you can add your squares there. You can also reply to Rona's opening comment in the Tally post:

As the KasTracker system is finalized it will be covered in an issue of Square Circle.
