The biggest fallout from Dorian is everybody think they could operate a charity and get big donor money but nobody wants to do the research to understand how to run these organizations in an accountable fashion, further noone should question what they do with what they got because they doing "good"

You are unqualified to work with ANY charity. **It doesnt make one wit of difference what your product is, the purpose of a charity is to assist people in dire need.** **ALL charity organizations have this policy and if yours doesn't noone should be giving you anything**. You shouldnt be giving clothes, bedding, food, money, sanitary pads, water anything you collect under the guise of "*helping the less fortunate*" to your staff or volunteers. If your donors want to assist you with administrative costs or release you from this standard protocol, they will explicitly tell you. They will says something like, here's an extra case of water for your staff or here's some fruit use it how you see best. It is not your place to decide how to willy nilly use donated items or pick through donated items deciding what looks good on you and is too good to give to the poor

You have no clue. Ah Lord.

For @hoda who should be banned worldwide from administration of any charity:

I truly hope no church or charity has you in charge of any donation campaign, this is common sense. but here you go

maligning??? Lawrence Rolle himself told the reporter that he would wear the clothes he got as donations for the poor. And in this story Silbert Mills tells the reporter he was given permission to use DRA mattresses bought for hurricane victims for humanitarian staff. I quoted **them**, Did you read the story?? I didnt imply they were corrupt, I said they clearly dont understand the conflict.

Lol this is laughably crazy. Ah Lord. Fadder give us strength

lol. Ah Lord.

Well you saw our contribution to the Dubai Innovation and sustainability conference. Quote "*we sang and danced*"

The problem I see here is alot of people putting themselves forward as relief organizations have no idea what is and is not proper protocol. And clearly the past DRA management who authorized this and the 16,000 generator for "home use" doesnt know proper protocol either.

correction "informed" paid agent.

**NO donor will donate items thinking they might be used by the people offering assistance as opposed to the intended victims**. in the world of charity organizations it is a faux pas and an abomination. If the team offering assistance needs housing that is budgeted separately and planned beforehand even if it means living in a tent.
