NEPAL EARTHQUAKE DISASTER

Hi all,
I guess most of you get email requests for money regularly, or you are the recipients of lost fortunes etc.
If it sounds to good to be true then it probably is.

I personally would not be contributing any amount of money to an individual in a foreign country even though it sounds like the right thing to do. You never really know where the money ends up.
It's a very sad time in Nepal at the moment, and will be for some time to come, and emotions may overcome good sense.

There have been many cases of large amounts of money that has been given in good faith that finds that it misdirected.
I am sure that there are many registered charitable organizations that money can be donated to or you could speak to the Nepalese embassy in your country.
You should be very aware of constant attempts by dishonest people to relieve well intentioned donors of their money.
