Perla Ni: Don’t Give Money to Haiti Now

If there is any lesson to be learned about how to donate to international disasters, it is this: don’t give your money when you first see the disaster splashed across TV.

To ensure the rebuilding effort survives over the long term, donors need to stagger their funding and guarantee it over many years, instead of sending the money all at once.

Yes, as hard as it may be to watch the dying and pain on our news, realize that money is not the impediment to getting aid to Haiti right now. They need military and security forces to help organize rescue, logistics and transport and security operations.

What your money can do is help the long-term food and medical aid necessary while rebuilding takes place. It will be a rebuilding that will take years, if not decades. >>Click here to continue reading

"...vede con chiarezza [...] il motivo per cui e’ necessario ad un’organizzazione". E inoltre, nonostante lo sforzo a volte sia assurdamente grande, rende chiaro agli altri perché l'esistenza dell'organizzazione stessa sia necessaria, e quindi perché donare é così importante. E' vero che il fr "cavalca l'onda", forse la differenza dal businessman sta nel fatto che lo fa con la spinta del cuore e l'equilibrio della mente. Buon lavoro a tutti i fundraiser, e buon lavoro a Virginia! Che post significativo! “…vede con chiarezza [...] il motivo per cui e’ necessario ad un’organizzazione”.

Melandri "il fundraiser è capace di mettere da parte tutti i moralismi e i luoghi comuni perché vede con chiarezza il punto di arrivo, il motivo per cui è necessario ad un’organizzazione. Il fundraiser non piange sugli eventi passati, ma usa le emozioni che ne derivano per migliorare il futuro."
