Fake charities
I was listening to a program in NPR about the Fake charity organizations that spring up all over the place when a disaster happens somewhere. They were discussing on how these fake charities are so hard to spot and how their names sound almost similar to a popular real charity names.
Another issue with charity is the way money is mishandled after it reaches the destination. They were discussing on how in some tsunami affected countries the money didn’t reach the suffering and how it was embezzled by some big shots of those communities.
It’s so appalling how humans can use somebody else grief for their own profit. Some times humans behave worse than animals.

I have seen many times that people that collect money through wrong means never are able to retain the money or enjoy it. I believe that there is some kind of a power tied to the assets we own. If we own something as a result of 'hardwork', it stays with us as long as we want. If someone owns something by cheating others or snatching it from some needy person, I think the money ties itself to this 'bad' power, bringing grief and agony to the owner.
I remember reading an article during Tsunami that some people were selling donated rice/pulses etc. to victims. I feel bad that such people exist between the needy and the generous.
