there are still 2 others. One in the west somewhere (I can never recall where) and another in the south. Just south of the train station. It is easy to get to and similar to the one that closed down (only slightly smaller). I am heading down there this afternoon so I hope its still there lol

Seems to me that this is just some misinformation my colleagues and i have received.

Bit of a concern as two of us have to leave the country next week.

If it were for real, im sure there would have been a bit more of a fuss within the expat community by now.

cheers

Hi Allen

I worked with the Red Cross a few years ago so I can tell you they are definitely up there with regards to how much donated money gets to the victims. Red Cross first aid training pretty much covers the cost of admin and the likes, so most of what is donated gets to the people in need.

You also have to think about how the money gets from you into the food and provisions needed. It takes a lot of work to be done effectively.

As an example, after the boxing day tsunami someone organized a shipping container load of blankets and clothing while avoiding using an NGO. The result was a container on the beach that got flooded with the tide, resulting in clothing and blankets ruined and floating around in the sea.
