That, and the various ethnic groups, tribes, etc use the donated food, etc. as a weapon too, ala Somalia. But hopefully I'll be wrong <g> |

His example could exert a certain pressure on others in F1 to follow his example. Hence, I think it's good he (or rather his management) made it public. There's so much money in F1. I'm surprised nobody has asked yet where F1's contribution is. Maybe they've all donated anonymously - but I doubt it. Schumi's contribution will put some pressure on the others in F1. Achim |

No need to worry.
The major charity organisations have direct control up to the receivers. It's not like other countries where you have to deliver to the doorstep and then go home w/o possibility of control. JensSchumi PS: corruption is also present here but works different.
