you donate it to Tzu Chi, Tzu Chi donates it to the Red Cross in Taiwan, Red Cross pays local businesses to help those victims.

I wonder how much your money will actually go to the victims or actually help them.

If I were you, I would just write a cheque to Red Cross in Taiwan

Tzu Chi have their own aid workers i thought, always see their members on the news working giving shit out

Yup, correct! Tzu Chi is indivisual organization and well-known in Taiwan.

I have see donation booth set up at Burnaby T&T, please contribute if you can.. :thumbsup:

Tzu Chi to me seems the most credible organization to donate to, to help the victims of Typhoon Morakot. But then again that's my opinion. I don't know if what you claim is what you know for a fact or if you're just speculating. I already gave in my donation and gave what I can. If you like the Red Cross, by all means go donate to the Red Cross.

I read a lot of update on the Typhoon aftermath donation, so far I have never heard of
Tzu Chi taking part of the rescue and voluntary jobs (of course I know they are credible
non-profit org).

I just don't hope only a fraction of people's donation money goes to the victim.

Only 20% of total donations have to be donated to victims. :) That's why I got sorta skeptical of donating to victims of different causes and disasters.

I found some videos.

they were there at the night market collecting donations

as much as i feel for those people, i even donated at the tzu chi desk... but fuck after seen the news report that some of the victims were throwing away their free foods because they are tied of it and complaining that they should eat at restaurants. i hope the flood water had covered their heads.

How do I donate to Shu Qi?

some food are not eatable and have been perished.

and Taiwan is not 3rd world country, those victims are not in poverty or make $2usd a month like in sichuen

They were at Crystal Mall today.

Tzu Chi is a buddist non-profit organization that generally has their own volunteers..it's pretty safe to assume they wont try to pocket your charitable donations.Uh,

so based off a video where one guy threw away aide food makes you hope for suffering amongst the victims?

How do you know he didn't just lose his family and had zero apetite cause he's probably feeling like shit?

i'd like to donate something to her to :D



anyone watching the charity fundraiser for the hurricane on ch181? they had jacky cheung singing with harlem $$

the head buddhist/founder of Tzu Chi

is their older sister btw:

Uh,
does this look like one person to you? and i don't think their attitude has
has anything to do with losing their family, only the food they got. if you read
correctly i said some, of course not all of them.

saw them on the 2nd floor of aberdeen today
lots of volunteers trying to get donations
