"Its a good idea but how do we know the proceeds will go to Haiti?" Because IT WILL I am a nurse and if i thought i could get out there to help with medical response then i would be there in a shot, this is the next best thing i can do, but thank you for your vote of confidence, we arent all thieving skants. Some of us are actually honest. | |||

"if people say they will send the money they will... FFS !!! us genuine swingers are very honest people !have you not seen the news people are giving birth and dying in the bloody street for gods sake ! im going to suggest it to my friend tomorrow night he is having a party ! we wil have a whip round so to speak " Yes we have seen the news and yes a lot of us on here are honest swingers. Do you remember the earthquake in Pakistan a few years ago people raised Millions of pounds for them but yet a lot of the money never went to Pakistan, there was a programe on the tv about it, so be careful make sure who you give money to is a registerd charity or you know for definate the money will goto a charity. Its times like this that you will see a lot of scams. Just being honest. | |||

"In defence of the OP I don't feel they are questioning the honesty of forumites. Seems to me they are saying that avenues between forumites and Haiti can sometimes be used for money to be 'filtered' off and never reach your intended goal. Gran x " Thank you Gran | |||

" .....i imagine relief funds would need staff so therefore expect that a percentage of donations will be spent on that xx" Charities providing relief clearly need staff to run the business but there does seem to be a lot of unnecessary duplication. Similar charities doing similar work in similar parts of the work; each with a Chief Executive, often a Deputy or two or three, a press spokesperson and so on - many on substantial salaries. That's before I get started on chuggers | |||

"I think it's a lovely thing you're doing. Snide remarks and people having to google what is going on in the world doesn't surprise me or you, hence the comments in your OP. I hope you all have a great time and raise more than money " My remarks were not snide they were open, they are my opinion and I am entitled to them unless you have become prime minister, that may be the case as I never watch news channels and will never buy a newspaper, again my choice. I do know that when the US were forcibly removed from Haiti the government condoned the killing of US citizens by the people they had riled into removing the US presence. I support all aid to the innocents of Haiti and I commend the US for donating $100 million dollars to the relief fund and a lot of other aid to a government that treated them so shamefully. We all know what governments do and the children and innocents of the Country all need our help, I have already made an online contribution to the British relief fund after reading this thread as I am sure you have too. | |||

"we talkin politicians??xx" Nah, senior staff at UK based charities. No shortage of politicians desperate to get their faces on camera. Ban Ki Moon was there a few days ago. Bill Clinton too. There's bound to be a Papal Visit sometime soon - just what Haiti needs, eh? While we're at it. Dog knows how many tv film crews are over there, all struggling to get the most humanitarian story or the best photo. All taking up plane space, food, water, accommodation and needing protection. | |||

"i dont often defend the media but realistically they are raising awareness and showin what is happenin in the area and they got to get there somehow!! if the pope visitin raises awareness then so be it sometimes people after seein a figure in power bein there will donate and to me its a good thing, an even better thing would be these public figures dippin into the wee offshore accounts and makin a donation or taking a family to safety in their country if they wanted to leave xx" I have no problem with awareness raising - I just doubt it needs a film crew from almost every channel in almost every country in the world. | |||

"media sells dear!! u think rupert murdoch etc in it for the love of the job!! the world is global so obviously u goin to have news crews from every corner! information may be power but doesnt mean its to make sense unfortunately! and i dont think anyone has thought of the one crew from one country and it would never happen anyway! x" I was thinking more in terms of one film crew full stop. Interviews and commentary could be dubbed back home - even into Gaelic | |||

"each country needs a figurehead it knows and respects to try to get the natives to donate .............. " So we send politicians? Respect isn't the first word that'd spring into most folks minds when describing politicians. | |||

Respect isn't the first word that'd spring into most folks minds when describing politicians. " I actually think she was meaning the news reporter was the figurehead. One that we all recognise in our own countries and not any politician or world leader. | |||
