Seriously who is this Brucey guy? I've never heard anything as rediculous as "giving money to charity is momentary happiness and then back to suffering" what a moronic comment! The world needs you like a stab in the eye with an old spoke!
Kenyan kids is an amzing idea, I've been there and if all it is is momentary happiness (which it isn't) then that's better than nothing. Some of these people are unbelievably poor, but still amazing generous and kind - not some scrutty little rude bwoys who rob, steal our bikes, and scam the labour government for benefit!!
Put me down for a raffle ticket - if this is real!
Have we decided on who will ensure it is a fair raffle?

Really? That's one of the more stupid posts I've ever seen on here which frankly, in the last week, is saying something.

this is what happen when you're completely isolated from Africa, it easy to make assumption 2,000 miles away from home since you don't 'see' it apart from certain news on television about some dictator murderous rampage.

a) Never give money to charity. Potential beneficiaries get nothing.
b) Give money to charity, evil corrupt charity uses most of the money to add an extra floor to each employee's mansion, the rest given to potential beneficiaries. Beneficiaries receive something.
c) Give money to an honest charity which is sensibly divided up into helping the given people in need and necessary administrative procedures. Potential beneficiaries receive the money they need.Ignoring the fact that not all three scenarios are equally likely to happen, the odds are stacked in charity's favour and in 2 of the 3 scenarios the people in need end up getting something out of it. It's your job to be discerning as to who you give to, but to say that they are all evil money grabbers is just an excuse not to give in my eyes. The reason some charities don't appear to be giving all the money they receive to the people who need it is that no-one gives enough in the first place meaning they have less money to keep the charity running. It's a vicious circle because people don't trust them enough to put the money where it's needed, so they don't give, so the charity loses money and less of it goes to the intended cause.

Option 4...don't give money. Give your time. Brucy if you're so botheted about corruption and misuse and this offends your delicate moral ideals then MTFU and give up your time. Come and join me for 6 months in Kenya starting 2nd April.
I'll be teaching kids english, adults about sustainable development and monitoring the use of charitable resources in the field.

Nope, an organisation called GVI. Although I may still apply to VSO as well.
Oh and back on topic...I'd put in for a raffle ticket as well. Will also think about doing the same thing with my bikes before I go as well.

What's a "trend bitch" you muppet!!
So we're all in agreement that Brucey is a bit of a scumbag - I hate it when people possess no intelligence but are opinionated; such a bad combination!! Or Brucey's bored and just fancies winding everyone up......
....either way, proclaiming that he is going to steal a bike is surely blasphemy on this site!!
Can we get this fool banned? All those in favour say "I"
