Challenge Poverty (with YouTube & Save the Children)

Uh, yes. So you are saying they didnt put themselves in the situation they are in? This makes no sense. Even if you are born into poverty, you have the choice to do yourself better. Like i said before, the best way to solve a homeless problem is to stop giving. The same applies for here.

It is great to give a helping hand when in need. Thank you

So my only question is how does a person check out ANY organization, to make sure the money is being well spent. It's not giving that bothers me. It's when I find out that I put $10 in someone's kettle and out of $500 collected, only about $50 actually gets used properly for the needy.???
If "save the children" is making full and proper use of donations, then congratulations. I personally would like to know which of the charity groups has the best % of money getting to the root of the problem.

Great question. I must say, my endorsement of Save the Children does NOT come from their ledgers. They have great accounting though.

My endorsement comes from my on-site experience of their conduct and seeing just exactly how they spend people's donations with my own eyes.

You're a tactful person "Uncultured Project". That was a pretty good reply. I may look into the organization. Right now things are tough budget wise.
Wish you well in the good endeavors though.

but would you not spend your money on it to clear your conscience

well, i wouldnt expect people to give handouts to me so by giving i feel like i am supporting the problem. Those people dug themselves into a hole so why should i help get them out?

You know "BriDirt", I've got to think you never had much for friends or love in your family. Get a life and help someone else, and you might actually feel good about yourself.
P.S. I don't hate you. I just consider you someone that must have missed out on some really good things in life...like love and compassion.

"Those people dug themselves into a hole"? excuse me? so you are saying poor people made the cyclone sidr happen? thats what your saying? wow you've got issues man.

if nobody gave the homeless anything i bet they would go away
