No thanks we don't need any more

I would like to reference this article in the Sydney Morning Herald. The international aid agency Medicins Sans Frontieres is handing back a large percentage of the money it received from the public for the victims of the Indian Ocean Tsunami. Reason being, they have raised far too much. Now, people generally gave me looks of scorn when I joked that with all the fund raising going on, they would end up having more money than we do. Only now that appears to be true!!! This all really goes back to what I was saying in my very first blog posting. The positive note on it is that it appears most people requested their donations be diverted to other programs.
