Please donate to Pakistan flood relief efforts! The Citizens Foundation is actively involved in distributing food and providing shelter. TCF has distributed over 7 million meals. By September 10, 2010, TCF would have distributed 20 million meals. TCF's 7000 employees and 660 school lacations are working in partnership with Pakistan Army and Navy. Please send your checks payable to the Citizens Foundation to the following address: 3611 Carnegie Street Houston, Texas 77005-3721 or you can donate on line by going to www.tcfusa.org Extract from BBC Article: Corruption Yale University economics professor Dean Karlan, an expert on charitable giving, says: "Corruption concerns may explain why giving is lower to developing countries than many would like it to be, but it does not explain why there is less money pouring into Pakistan now than does to disaster relief causes in other developing countries with similar governance issues." Dr Marie Lall says: "People in Pakistan are sceptical the government will be transparent. But they are giving to philanthropic organisations. In the UK, I think people are sceptical of [non-governmental organisations'] overheads and costs. They don't know which ones are transparent and reliable, even though local organisations such as TCF [The Citizens' Foundation] are doing an incredible job."
