That's what I hoped would happen, but local team said wouldn't be
possible due to various reasons. I recognize that VAT for things
spent within switzerland may be unavoidable [though, part of the hope
for a local organization is to be nonprofit to get tax exempt...], but
it's the necessity of swiss rules for global money that I want to
point out before it becomes a surprise.
