LAMENTED AT; 8:53 pm
Charity for Charity?
It's unavoidable and the silence is something I've been dreading. And the thing is, I don't know why. I don't even know why I care so much. & no, it's not what you think. I don't even know what to say. I'm not even that upset, just one of those things you wish you could fix, but you know you can't. How annoying. No?I've decided that I get annoyed very easily. I've also decided that I don't trust donations in the form of money. I mean, Come on! you donate
thousands and thousands, but what if only 10% of what you donate actually goes to the cause you donated for?
What happens to the other 90%?
So I conclude that I will never really trust any organization with money unless I handle the funds personally or get a dollar by dollar record of what they used the money for. So, that is why I am totally for donating food stuff and material things,
because other than eating, what good is a can of tin tuna?
The world is full of fancy
rich charity organizations which bring in sponsors by the millions. They have fancy installations, gatherings, meetings and councils for that sake. And more often than not, you're able to catch a glimpse of their fancy 'charitable' lifestyles on covers of magazines, widely publicized for the whole world to take a stand back and say,
'Hey, that looks cool! I wanna do something like that!'sound familiar?The point I'm trying to prove is that charity work should
not just be about fund raisers and fancy dinners and functions, but about the community! Like
duuuhhh, the whole point of having a charity organization is to
HELP people, not get sucked into this intense world of
"my charity drive is waay better than your charity drive"We're better off channeling all that money we may use for formalities like dinners and installations to make a bigger difference! What's the whole point of raising a thousand dollars if only a hundred is
REALLY going to get used by the organization?
We might as well just have a food sale, then donate absolutely all the money to that organization.
Right right?
