Again, watch out for scam organizations....there are only about four that are real...CHECK THEM OUT BEFORE YOU GIVE MONEY!!!!

That's right - most people don't know that India has refused aid because there are too many strings attached to it...Indonesia is accepting some. After the earthquake in Bam, Iran last year that killed 130,000, a year later they only have less than one fifth of what was pledged. Where did the money go?
