Great news—BOTIM has made their service available to users in Syria. This is exactly what we're working toward. Help us celebrate companies that do the right thing and encourage others to follow their lead.
Help others follow: When advocating with other companies, mention that BOTIM is already serving Syria. Real examples make the strongest case.
