Throwing good money after bad is not my idea of making the world a better place.
That said, I'm more into donating TIME than I am money.
I'll donate my time to teach third world citizens to build a proper foundation, or to frame a house, or any other of a thousand skills I've learned that they don't have.
You don't improve people's lives by fostering dependence. This is what the USA MUST eventually learn.
But then, we want the third world dependent, don't we? That's what Empire is all about...
Actually I feel the same way... thats why I have chosen the charities that I have... Habitat for humanity requires the families to build their own homes and requires that they put in so many hours on others peoples homes as well.
Children's village is about raising children properly in a healthy, productive environment so that they can grow up capable of contributing to society.
