Many of the people who donate to African charities are being ripped off anyway. I witnessed many different charities being shown the same clinic, school or workshop as the one they are funding and the following week another charity shown the exact same 3 buildings, not just once but often. Many charities are ripped off this way and the fat cats in Africa are living in luxury houses while the poor stay poor. I totally agree crnosrce1 look after your own before donating to places you havent seen or know where the funds are actually going. In Zimbabwe we paid 3% of our salary for Aids, 3% for drought relief and that was for 15 years and still people are dying and I never saw new dams being built anywhere. One popstar who realised this was Bob Geldof with Live Aid since that happened I didnt see a repeat performance from him after banging his head against a brick wall trying to help the starving. Celebs should stick to singing.
