Thanks for offering to put up the pictures and info in Dec; certainly looking forward to that
Helping individuals with HIV/AIDS to help themselves have always been something I have always felt alot about, and I have previously volunteered for my local Action For Aids on a few occasions, such as the distribution of love gloves to the public and giving talks in schools on HIV/AIDS awareness until I have to give up of late due to work commitments, so your further update in Dec will certainly be very useful to me and many others I'm sure.
I don't think you are being naive or mean any negativity but recently here on our Little Red Dot there are 2 very high profile court cases involving misappropriation of charity funds e.g. NKF using the moolah to build a solid gold toilet bowl and tap etc when it should have gone to the dying kidney patients. I'm not saying that all charitable orgs are black sheep, nor implying this one is, just that after all these saga, I do admit there is that concern within me haha
Cos feel my money donated is one small aspect of it; the main concern is that successive success in cheating kind donors of their goodwill will inspire them to carry on longterm, leading to a situation whereby the beneficiaries get less (e.g. 10% of all money ever donated never end up where they are supposed to)
Since you are going there in Dec, most probably it's authentic or they will not be able to welcome you there
Thanks once again for calling our attention to this good cause
