no wounder when money raised to help them is used on these go out to a third world country for two weeks and put in wster supplies etc would it not be cheaper to hire people from the countrys and let them do it instead of flying people out paying for hotels etc and it would leave more in the pot for the needy..a weeks wages is probably 10 but hundreds are used to send one person out..these countries must have trades men and if not it would be cheaper to train them
When you think of all the money we’ve given to all the charities, it’s easy to reason that your money has gone into the charity bosses pockets and not gone to where you meant it to go. Please, please , look for non-profit charities who can’t afford to advertise.
