Any charity, I don’t care who they are…if there is any sort of minimum payment recommended, they can go to hell. It is the absolute insult to suggest such IMO, vulgar to the extreme. My prefered charity wasn’t on that big list, I presume they will be involved in Haiti one way or another but they are more into health education and development than Rapid response.
An odd experience tonight, I was watching a charity worker being interviewed in Haiti. Was on BBC News Ch. about 19:10. In the background, hundreds of people were milling past, all spotlessly clean, some carrying books and papers….as if nothing had happened. One was even on a mobile phone whilst walking at the same time as the charity worker was saying how the comms networks are down. Trucks and cars were driving past as she was complaining that fuel was scarce.
I am in no way doubting any of the suffering there, but the whole thing was very very surreal.
