I knew that this would happen. That is the precise reason that I, along with my co-workers did not contribute to any general funds.
We sent our collection of cash to Sri Lanka with a co-worker who was travelling to Sri Lanka to be with his family and organize efforts to rebuild fishing village homes.
We built 30 homes @ $1000.00 each.
Oxfam has upset alot of little and big Pacific Island politicans. There has always been corruption...and Oxfam simply said it wouldn't play. They had vehicles come into one country (Sri Lanka I think), and the dimwits at the port wanted customs tax paid on all the vehicles...which would add up to well over $150k. Oxfam grumbled about this, paid it, but made public notice throughout all the major newspapers in the region...and they got their money back. You can't change these societies...they are rooted into corruption and can't change.
