Along with writing, I wanted to end 2007 with sending the latest issue of our newsletter dedicated to Natale.E instead ... I strongly encouraged to change their minds on the Association mailing humanitarian for children around the world non-profit organization, with located in Via Pascoli 9-20097 San Donato Milanese. Let's start by the logo of the Association, a confusing mix of other logos known associations ecertamente more affidabili.Un metal keyring in a plastic bag makes a fine show in the package.E far, nothing that eccepire.Ciò is frankly unacceptable content and images are of poor bambiniafricani skeletal and dying, whose dignity is trampled to literally carpirela good faith of unwary readers and potential donors. "photographs of children are certainly shocking, but no damage to the bottom of the 'idea concretadell'orrore you feel when you see them die. " Who is chairman of the signature, Dr.Joseph Lam, but it captures the expert hand of some agency that knows a lot in terms of utilizzospregiudicato marketing techniques in order not just benefico.Lascio you judge what has the headline of the letter "Africa, the terrible tragedy milionidi suffering children in Sudan ..." with the opening words: "Please accept this gift utileportachiavi as a sign of our friendship ..." The message speculated the emergency in Sudan, Malawi, Guinea, Liberia. The emergency, you know, is a topic dear to this kind of markettari. Nothing like the emergence and rise fortiemozioni immediate reaction, especially in the simple and generous magarianziane, often victims of deception. "Those kids are begging us to help them. We must not abandon them to their fate! "Except then declare general:" The humanitarian association for children around the world-NGO working with local clubs and private secure the delivery of aid to the needy popolazionipiù. We have a container ready to sail 12 meters, loading of materials chepossono provide vital aid to needy children in Africa who possonoportare thousands of their life and hope! The container must be done salpareimmediatamente! Please open your heart and make the gift of life thousands of bambinimorenti. "Communication style is very reminiscent of other strange non-profit organization, none of which, while chemeno this, says the allocation of funds raccolti.Ho tried to get a trace, without success, the message on the site as www.pbtm.it . I note that, as charities, this and other associations have access to 5 x 1000 (maybe some more control and some cancellations would not hurt), and with tax previsteagevolazioni . I conclude with an appeal to the Agency for NPO and Revenue Agency, if there are, strike a blow ... I ask for support and, hopefully, in behalf ditante really associations and many non-profit organization fundraiser dellatrasparenza making ethics and the strength of their actions.

Merry Christmas and a peaceful New Year.

    Thanks for publishing this letter! How fundraiser continued to shiver in front of these forms of marketing of pain and human dignity, but I can confirm that unfortunately one of the "Foundation" will continue to see schifezze.Combattere against lucratori disguised as "not lucratori "is the most difficult task for a fund raiser. ... I confirm that unity is strength and that no compromise is definitely the trump card, though sometimes can cost dearly.
    Merry Christmas to tutti.Alessandra

    I fully share the view taken by Cacopardo. As a non-profit organization responsible for "true" (we just had an inspection completed successfully Revenue Agency) I think it is important to point out the abuses and misconduct, protection of citizens and donors who work successfully in the field of fundraising.

    A cordial good wishes for Christmas and a happy 2008 to all readers of the blog and to prof. Melandri!

    I believe that only a legislative response to put an end to this type of communication.
    We are constantly bombarded with similar requests, fake cripples in the street, unemployed with the physical aspect of 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 distress. Nobody can teach respect to those who have unclear objectives and means to limit the permissible uses to achieve them, the only solution is to regulate further the segment and related activities.

    Many people have seen the imposition of "NPO" a way to circumvent trade laws and directives of the tax and finance offices to discover NPO without the necessary requirements is proof. But I think the offices are responsible for combating the misuse and ignoble that some (many?) Associations and institutions are the rules facilitation

    I thought to be NPO association were present to some government agency a specific document which that association would be allowed to use the benefits of being NPO. It was in a sense a hallmark, as the eco paid by companies.

  9. Valerio on August 27, 2008 wrote:

    NPO is not synonymous with transparent organization, partly because NPOs can become a non-profit organization at the beginning of its work and then when it still has not achieved the expected results from the donations handed out by donors

    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 projects that are potentially interested in donating. hello francesco

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

    Agree with the comment photo No. 3, emphasize the exponential increase of such requests that come in these last months of the year (13th!)
    I also received the bracelet and the sad request. My wife, pity the images heartbreak, asked me to support the so-called Dr. (?) Lam. I usually wary of those who do not know (and here the text and images seemed too truculent), I then did a quick search on the net which led me to extremely useful point of Beppe Cacopardo published on this site. I thank both him and the site.
    If true, it is as it seems from your comments that this unholy combination robs people, deceiving and diverting aid unfortunate children could go to truly needy taking illicit profits from this, the minimum I think is to be proven wrong by sending the Beppe web letter to as many people you know, asking them to do likewise.
    Cmq remains strange that not even involve any organ of the state to block such a heinous crime robbery masked by NPO. But maybe if a few Prosecutor's Office would also receive only a dozen reports ...
    Thanks again to everyone for profit warning, and sorry for the disturbance

    Exists in Italy the Italian Institute of Donation Via Pantano 2 Milan in turn generated from a rib of Sodalitas, which deals with certifying the accuracy of both groups in terms of assignment of administrative and financial propriety.
    Sodalitas was founded in 1995 by Assolombarda and 15 national and multinational companies and today supported by some 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 nonprofit.

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