3rd world doesn't need free food.
It needs to work its way out of the feudal age without us sticking our noses in making it worse.

I clicked but then I got letter through the post saying I'd downloaded porn via a P2P site, damn you Nix
usual small print is 100% of PROFITS goto charity
operation costs include massive wage to the guy who set this all up...
nothing wrong with charity, but most of the time people are just using charity as a excuse to get rich
if anyone here truly believes they have given a 'cup of food' to some starving kid in third world by clicking then they are nieve...
also posting 'clicked it', does not suddenly make you some kind of hero, just abit gullable. the pc you typed 'clicked' on would feed a whole family for a year, makes you think huh
sry for being cynical, its a cynical world out there
if you really want to give to charity find a proper one that is well recognised (though the larger ones are run like businesses also) and give some money, dont play 'internet mother teresa' lol

exactly none of them address the root of the problem, lots of charity aid ends up on black market as it is...

Because someone equally evil steps in to the void.
They need to sort themselves out. Otherwise we end up with a bunch of countries that hate the west and just love to bomb it.

I may have said this before (must be getting old) but I did my little thing for the Africans in 1979 collecting money for an appeal for them. A month or so later I saw the lovely irrigation system and solar powered drinking fountains giving the cute little pot bellied African kids fresh clean water. I felt good about myself and the world in general.
About 3 months later the organisers went back to that place to see how it had developed. The locals had stripped the irrigation system of all its metal, the pumps too and the solar power system. All had been sold for scrap for a quick buck. They were back to what they were before.
That was it from me and giving in any way shape or form to the Africans. Anybody who does not have the foresight to see what irrigation and clean drinking water can do for their community deserves to watch generation after generation of their children die horrible deaths.

Dont worry, the witchdoctors will cure them. Out of interest, which african country was this in?
