Charitable Move

Mum has been actively helping up a charity organisation for the recent earthquake in China. I'm glad she does so since she is semi-retired now, is better for her to do something charitable & healthy rather than staying at home.

What i'm more concern is that i've heard many corruptions lay within these kinda of charity activities, i wonder if things & money does 100% reach those who need. I'm not pointing finger to specific organisation, is just that some people really take advantage during this point of time...i find it inhuman & sickening.

(For example : donation via SMS - RM0.50 each.i was once told its inclusive administration charges for phone service provider, the receiving end may end up only getting RM 0.30 or so. Isnt that a business for them in each SMS?)

I was once helped by Charity on my surgery when i was very young. Mum & dad were desperate coz we were just average income family. If not because the people are so generous & acted fast, i would have gone long time ago. I know how much these donation meant to those receiving end coz i was once too a receiver.

There are too many donation campaigns on the streets nowadays....some fake, some genuine. I'm still trying best to help in return & i just hope these people dont take advantage to it & neglected those who need.
