[Wyspa]

I shame to say..i aint do anything yet. When I get pay, i will make a contribution to the cause.

 

[LadyDeath]

People please.....everyone have to make a change and contribute to something

 

[Wyspa]

We know...we know...but I can't give what I don't have.... so when i'm able to i will.

 

[RauCous]

Anybody tried the texting yet?

 

[cool3ni]

Yea I did it for bmobile

 

[LadyDeath]

k kooolll i don't have bmobile to try.

People IBN is also asking people who want to help to go to haiti ...i jus asking if yall know anyone who want to go to call them and see if spaces already booked up

 

[cool3ni]

hmmm if only I was on vaca,I'd probably go.

 

[kingfish]

I made a few donations through bmobile its not much but at least i helped in what ever way i can

 

[madsuya]

meh ah givin nah coz dey have enough for now!!! wen dey settle down ah mite give..........were's d check an balances..........later on d need will b greater so my money will reach dem.......an ah fraid dem smart man out dey yes!!!

 

[admin]

True The Government and the Prime minister will take most of that money, They will want to squander it all. They should account all the money hati got and see where the money gone.

Because Haiti has received really alot of money eh

 

[RauCous]

Allyuh real paranoid boy. You can give goods you know. lol. It have plenty Non Govermental Organisations that will glady pass it on to Haiti.

 

[admin]

Yes dude did i not say that in a next topic? But are you saying that corruption will not occur. Have you heard the news about some us soldiers or something stole 55,000 us dollars ( i don't know the exact sum but its more than 55,000)

 

[RauCous]

Dude corruption always happens. It's inescapable when dealing with people. But their is no such think as 100 percent corruption. If we never paid taxes we'd be one of the poorest nations in the world. Denmark's taxes are as high as 50 percent of their income and everyone pays it if they didn't their economy would collapse. We have to give with the understanding that it will make a difference. Even if only one cent gets to those who need it it's still a difference. You could easily say half the money sent is spent on expenses not directly related to the relief effort and it may be true but the remainder does help these people. Corruption isn't our problem. Other men's greed isn't our problem. But if we are inclined to give we have to do so with the faith that it is achieving something. Starving the relief fund will only hurt the ones who need it most. You dont have to give money. You dont have to give anything. But if you show concern by giving money lost along the way is more than an acceptable risk. We dont gain a thing by giving. Not even salvation or a clear conscience. But when people can benefit from our generousity it's always worth it. You can't quantify life in dollars. We can't deny them if they system isn't 100 percent foolproof.. but you dont HAVE to give. If you do. Have faith.

 

[admin]

I really think your not getting whats i'm tying to say and you are interpreting something i never said.

 

[Wyspa]

Why does this post turn into corruption and thing? It's supposed to be about who's helping Haiti? Not about who thiefing what....anyways. My employee had a drive to collect funds to deposit into the Haiti Relief Fund at Republic bank,and I contributed. i will continue to contribute again when I could.

 

[madsuya]

well la de da sir!!! god bless d hands dat give...who have plz give ok

 

[RauCous]

That wasn't directed and you or anyone here admin.. I was thinking about some people on facebook :[ sorry bout that.
Subway had a food for food thing. Hopefully they will again.. all you need to carry is canned foods. It's almost like they robbing themselves. lol.
