NGO tracking down donors to give back excess $$
EFLInternational medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres is tracking down hundreds of thousands of tsunami donors worldwide and offering them their money back after it received four times as much money as it needed. In Australia alone the charity sent out more than 4 000 letters telling donors it could not use their money for tsunami victims, the Sydney Morning Herald said. Medecins Sans Frontieres received four times the â¬20m it needed to fund its response to the December 26 disaster. The charity's president, Rowan Gillies, was quoted as saying it was ethically compelled to contact every donor of the surplus and offer to return it. Posted by: trailing wife 2005-05-11 |
