FY17/18 Update #1 - July 10th[edit]

End of Financial Year - FY 16/17 ended on June 30th. We now begin work on our Fundraising report similar to that seen last year. Finishing campaigns - Latin America, our final campaign started last FY ended on Sunday. Ongoing campaigns - Israel Desktop is presently ongoing and we expect to launch mobile campaigns on Wednesday 12th. Upcoming campaigns - Ukraine and Portugal desktop campaigns start next Tuesday 18th July. Big English systems testing - Our weekly Big English hourly systems testing starts this week. As the biggest and most complex campaign we run these weekly tests through the latter half of the year to flush out bugs out of the systems and identify any possible issues through the donation flow that may have creeped through the previous 6 months. This weeks test will be focusing on the Paypal flow. Brazil testing - The Brazil fundraising campaign is set to start August 1st and we will be running a pre-test later this week
