PICKING CHARITIES
by Todd Marshall
http://www.yescharities.com

People around the globe are not as fortunate as us. That
is why we donate to charities, to help the needy.
Charities are set up to help all manner of causes and
natural catastrophes, big or small. One recent example is
charities for the tsunami that recently wrecked tens of
thousands of people~s lives. Charities will help villages
and families to reconstruct their lives and homes; without
them this just wouldn~t be achievable. But just how do you
decide which to give to? Here are some tips and
suggestions.

How do I know how the money is used? This is a major worry
for people who donate to charities. The last thing you
want is to give money and find it has slipped into the
wallet of a greedy businessman rather than the intended
recipients. One favorable thing is that the majority of
charities are run by people who have a real empathy with
the people who they are collecting for. You still need to
proceed with caution though and a good way to test the
water is actually ask them what percentage of any donation
goes towards the cause and not towards expenses.

What about the World Vision International? This
Californian charity doesn~t make any profit and is a
Christian organization that focuses on the world~s
neediest kids. Its reputation speaks for itself and is one
of the fantastic charities to donate to. The money is used
to clothe, feed and educate children in poverty. This
education aspect is of paramount importance as it will
help them to get a job and look after themselves; they may
even end up helping other kids in the same situation when
they grow up. World Vision International also helps in
naturally occurring disasters such as the Tsunami.

The Red Cross is another excellent charitable
organization. Most people have heard of Red Cross, very
much aware of the type of excellent support they offer.
You will see the professionals of the Red Cross working
situations associated with natural disasters to include
hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and yes, tsunami. These
people step up to the plate in bringing food, clothing,
medication, personnel, education, and financial means to
help in a specific situation.

These are two of the best charities around but that
doesn~t mean that there aren~t a plethora of other
first-rate charities calling out for your $10 a month
donation. This includes Feed the Children, The Salvation
Army, The United Way, Greenpeace and Ronald McDonald
House. It~s up to you which one you choose; just don~t
forget to make donations as you never know where the next
disaster zone will be. It could be in your home town and
you could be the one desperately seeking the help of
charities.
