Hello all,
I just wanted to bring up a point of the process in which people are/can make donations.
I have donated what little bit I can afford but think it wise to know before-hand where those funds are being used and for what purpose. I think we would all like to assume the funds are being used properly but I air this concern because of the obvious corruptions faced by our society in that monetary funds often "disappear" to a certain extent.
I think there should be some way of, not necessarilly tracking donations but making sure they are going to the people on the ground for essentials (food, shelter, medical care, &c.) and towards opperating costs (websites, publishing,&c).
This is just something I've been thinking about now for a few weeks and thought it may warrant some dialogue.
Thanks!
