Thank you to everyone attempting to spread the TRUTH - which EXCLUDES BONO! The truth always prevails. I so wish that the PharMafia manufacturing lethal ARVs & BOGUS HIV tests, their biggest global 'pushers' KFF (Kaiser Family Foundation), both Bills, BONO, Elton John, Oprah, Angelina and the likes would leave my people here in South Africa ALONE! The one person that I believe we can rely on for genuine help here is Richard Branson at virgin . com - Search David Crowe on YTube!

Please do not save this to your harddrive. That is a virus that he's asking you to put on your computer.

I totally agree about the situation in New Orleans. It is an American disgrace that the people of New Orleans are still waiting for help to restore their lives. Unfortunately, as in Africa, it is always the poorest and most vulnerable who depend on our help. The people of New Orleans deserve better!

Why is it we cxan spend money freely on other countries, but don't do enough to help our own? If you ask me, I think more money should be going towerds New Orleans, as well as the world.

The money will go where it went when Micheal Jackson started the 'We are the world' fund raiser. To the hand of the politians in Africa and the Drug lords. Didnt make a difference then and wont make a difference now.

richmondstef - I think what your brother does with the African Children's Choir is amazing. I am so glad to hear that the money goes to benefit those in need in parts of Africa. I assume that the money goes to aid a specific group of people/children, or a specific area with Africa. Africa, as I have said previously, is a huge continent.

It is my understanding that the money first goes to here-event's charity-CPEF.This organization is run by Simon Fuller and others-Then the named charities -UNICEF, etc. have to fill out grant requests and wait for them to be APPROVED! I think using a middleman, as emerson032 stated, eats into the funds-and there is probably a waiting time. I chose to donate directly to UNICEF, as I know that their overhead costs are lower. raised will go where needed as soon as possible.

My brother does the sound for the same African Children's Choir that was on Idol and he is a shaperone. He doesn't get any kind of salary. He works for free and ALL his expenses come from friends and family. He usually stays in church member's houses..Any money generated goes straight to Africa.
