Do Your Funds Reach?
The very first line in a news article reads like this -
United Nations peacekeepers, aid workers and teachers are having sex with Liberian girls as young as eight in return for money, food or favours, threatening efforts to rebuild a nation ruined by war-- IOL
Do we need to see anything more in this? UNICEF keeps asking for funds every now & then to help suffering children all around the world. Is this the way they are helping the eight year olds to rebuild their lives? There was a time when I used to feel proud that even thet little bit of charity I do to UNICEF, will reach some kid in some place like Liberia for his/her living. When I see such reports, I just feel what a waste of money, time & efforts. Why should we donate to such big organizations, who use our donations for administrative purposes, for paying people, who eventually end up spoiling the lives of suffering children with such kind of nasty activities.
When disasters like Tsunami, Katrina & Rita came, there was one organization to which everyone turned their respect, trust & belief to - Red Cross. I'm not saying, they didn't do their duty. But every one of us know, how slow & sluggish their reaction & response was and how people suffered for long time. People were pouring money over when these disasters hit and what finally happened is the resignation of Red Cross CEO.
Why? Why? Why do these responsible organizations act irresponsibly?

hey, i'm an indian, my name is shakti mehra. i've read all ur posts abt india. u too seem to read toi, like me. hey let me tell u that buddhia(the child who ran 65 km) didn't actually run that distance. on top of it, he had also taken drugs. he is just a little bluffmaster. and the thing u say that indians, bangladeshis and pakistanis are unhealthy, thats not true for india(that is true, but, u know, i'm a patriot)indians are very healthy.
Well. Thx Shakti for ur comment. Regarding Bhudhia, it was just a feeling of pride. I would wait for doctors' complete reports on arthritis, asthma, weak heart to really understand if things are for true!
& On Asians not healthy - That was not my personal statement. It was a report on almost all the news papers on that day and I guess I would have quoted/referred some new article. I wish & hope, they are as healthy as you have put in your words. But facts are...
