Battling with the system for Esperantists
It is not easy to be an international body. Take Esperanto world body for example. It has to overcome many problems posted by the rules and regulations of the commercial world. To be the member of the UEA, the annual membership fee is only 12 Euro dollars. However, to us, in Malaysia, I cannot speak for others, the bank commission of a cheque or bankdraft is 25 Euro dollars. Can you imagine the cost of the bank commission is suffice to be a two year membership fees. Who would be willing to pay that for the membership ?
