Like many I was raised thinking that 'Charity' was that. In fact it is not. The amount of commissions, wages, administration expenses etc., eaten up makes each euro donated, only a few cents actually makes it to the bottom line.
It is all very sad to hear the plight of others. However think of your own circumstances especially if GFB hard times were ringing at your door. Which charity would help you ???
I never ever give money to charity now and if I ever see a homeless person begging on the street, they get my money right into their hands and I really don't care whether they use it on booze, fags or food, at least the choice is their own.
You are dead right, I worked voluntarily for a year with a charitable organisation and I was shocked to the core at the lack of transparency and accountability to public donations. The money never went to the benefit of the clients.
