I don't think this charity campaign restricts you from giving to other charitiesTricky-Loops wrote:Maybe there are some elder musicians who want to buy something to eat, because they can't survive with one guitar string?Sampleconstruct wrote:Well I did write guitar strings, didn't I?
Seriously, I want to donate to organizations that help ALL people of all ages and cultures and religions etc. For example, if you construct solar panels or a irrigation system or something else useful in poor village, then you help ALL people AND the children, too!

Of course, it's good to help children, too. But there are so many charity organizations for children - collecting especially at the winter time -, that I always think why charity organizations for the elder people (and I don't mean only senile ones) are THAT rare.
I want to see some help for the whole family and for the whole community, not only for the children...that does mean help for the whole village so that they can make a better life for their own children!
No, but the content of my wallet is very restricted, and I just wanted to bring to notice that there are MANY poor adult people, too, not only poor children. However, I wish much success for the campaign...Lars XLN Audio wrote:I don't think this charity campaign restricts you from giving to other charitiesTricky-Loops wrote:Maybe there are some elder musicians who want to buy something to eat, because they can't survive with one guitar string?Sampleconstruct wrote:Well I did write guitar strings, didn't I?

Because I don't have the possibilities and I have neither money nor time to run such a charity organization. You can't travel to other countries without money, and you can't construct solar panels without money. But there are already some charity organizations which provide help for self-help...VitaminD wrote:Tricky-Loops wrote:And that's the prejudice that every elder musician would spend the money only to buy alcoholics or drugs or something else harmful.Sampleconstruct wrote:Great - that saves one child or half of an old musician needing some new guitar strings or a bottle of whiskey.mellotronaut wrote:'save me' i'm an elder musician on a well known island and i need some Alchemistry and beyond and i bid 30€.Sampleconstruct wrote:Are you calling for a "Save the elder musicians"-campaign instead then?Tricky-Loops wrote:Everybody in the world is saving children.

If it is really in your heart, then why don't you start one?
Excuses never got anyone anywhere. And you don't have to try to save the world -- You can help with your neighborhood/region if it really means much to you..Tricky-Loops wrote:Because I don't have the possibilities and I have neither money nor time to run such a charity organization.

You can feed all hungry children, and if they're grown-up they will make many other hungry children who will depend on charity organizations, too, and there will be no end of hunger in sight. You have to help the whole community to create an improved environment in which children can grow up better and can make a better - well thought - family planning.
There are a few independent charity organizations, but I don't believe in any navigator. Most of the charity organizations want to make the poor people dependent of some company or church or government. We need some charity organizations which work independently with the people at eye level, not overlaying them our culture like we have done at colonization time...VitaminD wrote:Excuses never got anyone anywhere.

There are many charities/organizations that go into impoverished areas and teach those living there how to grow food more efficiently, proper hygiene, provide vaccinations, dig water wells, etc. Try a visit to http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.c ... categories for a start. TONS of them if you go beyond what is on the surface/what is fed to you.
I just want to bring in some broader global view. Just in case that there is as much hunger in the world in 50 years as today... Children grow up, and as soon as they're adult they're making other children, and nothing changes. Except that there will be more and more people in the world dependent on charity organizations.vurt wrote:either get involved or dont

Yes, We are giving friendly hints to please drop it and let the original purpose of this thread move on. We get you, Mr. Tricky, loud and clear, but this isn't the place for such a discussion. You are harshing the vibe, man.samsam wrote:A good teacher chooses carefully when and how to convey a message, taking into account the setting and the learners' disposition to learn.

It's easier to clean up everything than to think about some intelligent comments. It depends on you. In 100 years nobody will know your name and nobody will know this charity. If you want the world go down, just remove every intelligent comment and what will remain of our civilizations will be cheap marketing dust... I've tried to help a descending culture, but there are better ones to come. If only 1 of 100 people is thinking about a more intelligent, efficient long-term charity, then I have achieved something more important than all these senseless chatting.bluedad wrote:Yes, this is a thead about a specific charity..if you dont agree, go start your own thread.
