Donation

I am selective is giving donations. And my giving is depending on my situation at that point of time, for example, I just gotten a bonus, I might be more willing to give. In my country, there are few cases of Charity organisation misused of the donated fund and we are talking in ten thousand and millions of dollars. That make me selective is giving. At time, I will prefer to give the money to the people directly, knowing that 100% of the money will be put to good use by the recipent. And if you donate it to an charity organisation, part of the money will goes into admin cost to run the organisation, in the end, proably only 70% of the money goes to the people needing it.

I can not definitely tell you the amount I spend for donations, but I used to donate most of the times I am asked by someone. Though I know, that many people who are asking for donations, are fake, but there is no way to check the validity of their claims.
