It was a difficult subject to write about and a very complex one at that. We took some time to think about what we were going to say- initially we were angry and frustrated at what we were seeing and hearing, but we tried to be as objective as possible and offer potential solutions- hence Hunger Porn #2. While some organizations do achieve their goals, we saw a lot of waste, abuse and corruption. Frankly, it just soils the image of the industry and makes it harder for the “good” organizations to achieve their mission.

Definitely a difficult subject to tackle. I appreciate you sharing your perspective on this, since you’ve seen it for yourself.

Really glad you shared this… Important that people recognize and understand the impact of blindly giving without thinking about the bigger picture. Crazy that there can be a downside to generosity….
