Haiti Earthquake Appeal

[Gandalf]

People in Haiti will need help after two or three months. Right now everyone just needs to survive, and not much reaches the victims.
Why ? One because 14.000 US soldiers are sitting on the airport blocking traffic from countries like Russia, France and Venezuela.
But the most important part is that there are too many roads blocked.

After a couple of months, the world will have forgotten the pictures on TV, just like they forgot the tsunami. What stays is a country where people have less than nothing.

Even the big charities will let 50% or more slide in to their pockets 'for future disasters'.

So if you can help by anything you know will reach people directly, do so. If it goes in to the pockets of unknown charities, or even big organizations, remember that the people who need it will not see a lot.

Small business's can do more for the people of haiti with the the money that most charities have, in terms of help.

Even the big charities will let 50% or more slide in to their pockets 'for future disasters'.

BE AWARE!


In the UK (&other places maybe) if you donate to people for any charity , they can put some of that cash into there own pocket , not for "Future disasters", but for there own big pie holes.
Even official charity collectors / charities do this - Charities are allowed to make a profit. Non Profit Organizations may not make a profit, i think.

MAKE SURE YOU READ THERE IDENTITY CARDS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH THOSE PEOPLE TAKE.


I think its like, you can collect as much as you want, but you must give at least

You must give at  least five pounds (pound sign is fucked up currently, will report)
 per 100 pounds you collect. Pretty sad don't you think?
