OUR GREAT EFFICIENT UNITED NATIONS

The Financial Times is reporting that 1/3 of the UN tsunami funds spent thus far have gone to .........yep, you guessed it ........."overhead." This is what the Times came up with after a 2 month study. This is monies that was given by governments to the UN shortly after the tsunami to fund the much needed immediate relief help. So far 590 million of the 1.1 billion donated to the UN has been used.

This is why my donation went to a NGO, World Vision, specifically.

The newspaper was stonewalled by several U.N. agencies, as they refused to disclose details of their expenditures. Senior officials earlier had pledged to transparency. Are you surprised? I am not.

The somewhat standard or guide for non-profit charitable organizations is that they should claim no more than 10% of their funds will be used for administration costs.

The UN is a worthless and corrupt organization in my humble opinion.
