I have exactly the same concerns about many of the larger charities.
Many millions collected, but those for whom the money was collected,
see very little of the money.

Foreign aid and charity has now become big business, run by
millionaires.

You beat me to it! I was about to say precisely the same thing. The
Charities Aid Foundation is one of the worst offenders in this area.

Peeps, if you're feeling charitable, please give *directly* to those
you're satisfied are genuinely in need and NOT via intermediary
organisations!

And how would one do that say with teh recent Nepal earthquake ?
unless yuo know an indiduals bank details how can you donate without going through a large organisation.
Or what do you do if someone comes up to you in the street with a bucket ?
even if they have valid ID.
IS Oxfam OK as thier chief director earns almost 120k a year.
