qote from year 2002

Quote But Mahfood, who continues to draw $168,000 a year in severance pay, remains involved in a prison ministry for the charity, according to employees and a longtime donor.



In response to recent criticism by a former board member that the Mahfood family has too much power over the charity, the executives said Food for the Poor employs just three family members: Ferdinand's brother Robin, who took over after Ferdinand stepped down, and two others. But internal documents show at least three additional relatives on the payroll.



The charity may be too closely tied to the Mahfoods' for-profit business, Essex Exports, said charity watchdogs and government officials.



The business and the charity, both controlled by the family, share office space, a phone system and a shipping department. The charity has bought more than $172,000 of goods from Essex since 1998, according to its tax returns.

the CEO gets $168k per year. so 1998-2002= $672k over 4 years

but only bought $172k of food goods.



there were other scandals of the ceo stealing over $270k.



more recently other scandals of overpaid employee's



and then there is the fact that they promote countries to look like this:





when in actual fact it looks like:





as for the new CEO:

Quote Robin Mahfood himself enjoyed a steady increase in pay, more than doubling his salary in six years. In 2008, he earned $364,874. thats enough to feed 4000 people for a year.



.. hmm lets dig deeper.

ok the charities supplier of goods is owned by family (more syphoning of funds) whilst the same family members also get an income by being his PA and other internal roles. (put simply they get paid twice).



the CEO's son's inlaw got atleast $150k each per year in a quote from a 2008 article (another 2k of people not fed per year).



.. its starting to get harder to work out their other incomes from the side jobs they do as goods suppliers. but a qote of 2003 says the goods supply business netted the guy atleast $50k.



so instead of buying produce from manufacturers (at cost value) they allow the inlaws to get the stock. add on alot of wages and extra hidden costs, and then the 'charity' pays the inlaws a premium.



so when the charity says it bought x value of stock. the (at cost value) is maybe only 20% of that this is why i wont donateqote from year 2002the CEO gets $168k per year. so 1998-2002= $672k over 4 yearsbut only bought $172k of food goods.there were other scandals of the ceo stealing over $270k.more recently other scandals of overpaid employee'sand then there is the fact that they promote countries to look like this:when in actual fact it looks like:as for the new CEO:thats enough to feed 4000 people for a year... hmm lets dig deeper.ok the charities supplier of goods is owned by family (more syphoning of funds) whilst the same family members also get an income by being his PA and other internal roles.

I don't know which charities are worth donating to, and which charities aren't worth donating to.



My goal is to push bitcoin adoption and to give bitcoiners an easy way to donate to the charity of their choice.



It doesn't really matter to me what charity we get behind, but I think bitcoin should pick a big charity and get behind them, and incentivize them to accept bitcoin.



Look over this list of the largest 50 charities and let me know which charity you think the bitcoin community could get behind: Hey guys,I don't know which charities are worth donating to, and which charities aren't worth donating to.My goal is to push bitcoin adoption and to give bitcoiners an easy way to donate to the charity of their choice.It doesn't really matter to me what charity we get behind, but I think bitcoin should pick a big charity and get behind them, and incentivize them to accept bitcoin.Look over this list of the largest 50 charities and let me know which charity you think the bitcoin community could get behind: http://www.forbes.com/top-charities/

the majority of campaigns spend millions on advertising and pay fundraisers alot of money.



i think none of the top 50 charities deserve bitcoin donations.



we need to get people like seans outpost. people on the front line, actually helping people. not organisations that sit in offices doing million $ campaigns to hit their targets and get bonuses.



if you want a better list of deserving groups, maybe watch the series "the secret millionaire" which shows millionaires going out into the real world and interacting with front line services.. t then give them money because they see the actual impact 'local' charity has on individuals.



id prefer to donate to 50 'local' charities, then 1 corporate organisation I DO NOT TRADE OR ACT AS ESCROW ON THIS FORUM EVER.

We can build tents/shelters, buy/get food, water, get gens for those without electricity, even build small schools/hosipitals for the unprivileged and charge less, a big hall for people to sleep and more..



This idea will be awesome than donating to some rich dude who send 20% of your donation.

Well if you need this i just said actualised let me know i can do the running around and working too, i love kids and want them to have a better opportunity growing up..
