Thanks for publishing this letter! How fundraiser continued to shiver in front of these forms of marketing and human dignity of pain, but unfortunately I can also confirm that among the "non-profit organization" will continue to see schifezze.Combattere against lucratori disguised as "not lucratori "is the most difficult task for a fund raiser .... I confirm that the union is strength and that no compromise is surely the winning weapon, although it can sometimes be very costly.
Merry Christmas to tutti.Alessandra

I fully agree with the arguments made by Cacopardo. As the head of a non-profit "true" (we just had an inspection completed successfully Revenue Agency) I think it's important to point out the abuse and misconduct, protection of citizens and donors who work successfully in the field of fundraising.

To extend my warmest wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy 2008 to all readers of the blog and to prof. Melandri!

I believe that only a legislative response can put an end to this type of communication.
We are continually besieged with requests similar fake cripples in the street, unemployed with the physical appearance of someone who could do any work .. the effect on me is a suspicion that probably prevented me from giving a little help to those who were really in trouble. No one can teach respect to those who lack transparency purposes and uses of resources to the limit permitted to reach them, the only solution is to regulate better the segment and related activities.

Many people have seen the creation of "NPO" a way to circumvent trade laws and directives and tax offices to find non-profit without the financial requirements resulting from it is the proof. But I think that the offices should address the charge of misuse and not some noble (molte!) associations and institutions are the rules facilitate

Ethics in our work we would have much to say ... but between saying and doing is half of an invoice.
Merry Christmas to all!

I thought to be non-profit association should fail at some documentation a specific government body which then authorized to use the benefits of that association from being NPO. Whether it was in a sense a hallmark, as the eco-paid by employers.

Non-profit organization is not synonymous with clear, partly because nonprofits can become a non-profit organization at the beginning of its activity and, therefore, when not yet achieved the results hoped for by donations from donors bestowed

I refrain from commenting, I would like to know with certainty whether
The non-profit headed by Dr. Joseph Lam is reliable.
I look forward to a v / s response thanks and good job

Emidio hello, how can you know for sure if a non-profit organization is reliable? Instead of asking on this blog I think maybe we should all try to understand if this is reliable or other non-profit organization and begin to write, to ask questions about the projects that we are potentially interested in donating. Hello francesco

Today I got yet another invitation of Dr. Lam, instead of the keychain and this time there was a rosary bracelet. Having long been the insight that it is a commercial initiative, or at best something very far from the Catholic world, so I thought I'd offer, but in favor of 'AVSI's known for years that the seriousness. Hello Beppe

Perfect agreement with the photographic Comment No. 3, emphasize the exponential increase of such requests that will come in the last months of the year (13a!)
I also received the bracelet and the sad request. My wife, moved to pity by the images spezzacuore, asked me to support the so-called Dr. (?) Lam. I distrust those who usually do not know (and here the text and images seemed too gruesome), so I did a quick search on the net that led me all'utilissima Beppe Cacopardo letter published on this site. I thank both him and his site.
If true, it is as it seems from your comments that this ugly Association robs people, deceit, and diverting aid that could otherwise unfortunate children truly in need taking illicit profits from that, I think the minimum to do is to put the lie to the sending Beppe web letter to as many people they know, asking them to do the same.
Cmq remains strange that not even involve any organ of the state to block such a heinous crime larceny disguised as non-profit. But maybe if a few Prosecutor's Office would receive even a dozen reports ...
Thanks again to all for the profit warning, and sorry for the disturbance
Lorenzo

There exists in Italy the Italian Institute of Milan, 2 Via Pantano donation in turn generated from a rib of Sodalitas, which deals with certifying the correctness of the associations in terms of mission administrative and financial fairness.
Sodalitas was founded in 1995 by Assolombarda and 15 national and multinational companies and today supported by about 70 companies and uses about 70 managers and former managers volunteers.
Its mission is to strengthen social cohesion. Today is a Sodalitas Operto Foundation and has operations in more than 100 non-profit.

In San Donato Milanese, Via Pascoli, 9, there are 2 non-profit organization: the first is "Medical Missions International Italy Onlus", headquartered in San Donato and locations around the world. The Board is composed by Joseph Lam, Ruth and Eva Kendrick Godehus, the second is "Humanitarian Association for children around the world non-profit organization" with headquarters in Paris and branches around the world, including San Donato Milanese , 9 Via Pascoli, the board of directors of the latter is composed by Joseph Lam, Lam and Susan Ruth Kendrick. I echo the concerns expressed by friends and colleagues Fund Raising above, seeing the inertia of those who should monitor and investigate the goodness of the two associations.

Another Christmas other requests, also came to me the bracelet by Dr. Lam.
I do not doubt the goodness of his activities, but these methods do not like, I have requested the cancellation of my address.

Hello all. I came to these comments because I wanted to check the reliability of this non-profit organization, as my parents wanted to make a substantial offer. I was suspicious because of the tone too much propaganda and gifts placed in envelopes. I hope others will join in these comments because it is thanks to this information that can limit the actions of this group.

Good morning,
I too have fallen into the trap of this association, about a year ago I sent the first request for money.
But since then has been continuous and a mailing sending a continuous pseudo-religious also omaggini which, added to the postage cost are now certainly more than my fair offer. But, what struck me most was the exploitation of images of suffering of small children who are victims of hunger and disease. This just can not tolerate. I hope something can be done to bring these people before a criminal court. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to bring my testimony.

The images sent from this association are undoubtedly effective moltyo. I see that many people say (or suspect) that this association is trying to defraud. To find out if it is true, it would be appropriate that these suspicions were documented (unfortunately, there are associations and others are not honest, and not easy to understand for those not into these things). I think if people knew arguments for and against this association will propose to the other, would be useful.

Good evening,
today, a series of suspicious "elements", I was doing my research on the net and the Association of Medical Mission humanitarian for children around the world, because my mother sent some time offered by these non-profit.

So I met her blog and I found other interesting things including this information to carry on this link:

http://www.advexpress.it/templateStampa.asp?sez=18&info=83134

Maybe you who know the industry, you will be able to figure out if they actually are just big marketing works ... or do they manage to scrape together the money really comes to marketing the destination to mention. However, remaining uncertainty I wrote that my mother can no longer send offers!

I received a bracelet with the letteraccia, covered with "sacred images", and I have suffered defeat because he felt the dirt in it. The letter I have just defeated because I intend to communicate with these people. I did and then I went on the web, I saw this page, and was the only one I clicked. In addition to direct your own allegations, I suggested that there may be several other ways to stop these horrors, such as not to give birth to children in those situations, not least in the immediate manufacture of weapons and control traffic, and more, though, perhaps , Dr. Joseph Lam was not going to the blessing of their Holy Father. At resent, if someone will respond. Meanwhile, Love, Live, Laughter

It may be interesting to know what reply (if they respond) to Dhyan.
