Help

I am privileged, I know. I was born in a western civilized country, and that cannot compare to most other countries where people have big problems to deal with, like war, terror, violence and insecurity.

So I would like to help. Only I have realized over the years that donating money to an organization doesn't always help. Or more clearly, I do not know, and after having read about money being embezzled and "disappearing" I decided to help out locally. I know, Switzerland is not the most needy country on earth, but at least I would know where my money went.

Imagine my surprise when they cannot even be bothered to answer my emails offering to help. Yes, Switzerland doesn't need volunteers. "It" needs a smack in the head!

Its amazing how hard it is to give time and skills. This seems to be the nature of charitable organisations they never have any resoruces and use volunteers or staff that arent quite professional and they are hopelessly disorganised and terrible at admin stuff
