I donated £15 to charity yesterday after seeing a horrible advert about children in Africa. I'm not normally a donator as you here many stories linking charity's only giving a small amount to Africa, and keeping it mostly themselves.
I also donated for the Japan aid. Guys, I'm getting soft now...
Haha "I'm getting soft now...". You donated to a good cause, I always thought about which charity I should stick with and the African child charities are the ones I choose to donate to. You can't put a price on life.
This thread just reminds me of how materialistic everything is.
We can't just all fucking help them for free, we need some "paper" with pictures on it to help them.
Perhaps they could make a super-cheerful Farmville - African Edition to highlight the problems.
"It hasn't rained in months and all your crops are dead"
"Your well is full of polio"
"Your goat has starved because you spent all your money on extortionate innoculations from the West"
"The latest machete-wielding CIA-sponsored gang of relious thugs just burnt down your shed and raped your wife"
I think you're wrong but I may me. As I know Red Cross takes like %25 of the donation for theirselves, imagine donating a million dollars and they keep $250.000.
