Should I give my donations to the red cross for JAPAN ?

Question:


I am donating about £21,000 out of my own money or should I fly over and hand it out ?

Answer:


Donate it. If you were to hand it out yourself, how would you know whether the people you were giving it to were legitimately in need or scammers?

Also, imagine what would happen if you stood on any street corner in London and just handed out money. The riot that would start would be incredible. In Haiti, people who got donations of food were beaten and robbed of them, by thieves who had been watching. Japan has been very calm, but desperate people presented with a chance for cash can behave unpredictably.
