A reader asks “How do I choose between China and Burma for my donation?”
Answer: For once, this one is easy. Don’t choose. Give to the organization’s general emergency fund. They are professionals. They’re not going to spend your donation on Tequila and Beer-Nuts. In fact, legally they can’t. So let them choose where the need is greatest and the resources most scarce.
Admin note: I am off on vacation until June 1st, so this is the last post I’ll be putting up for a while. Check out my sidebars if you need something to read, and stay tuned for a June 1st posting on thing I don’t believe in #18. (In response to Tworque)
Just confirming to your loyal readers that we will not spend the funding on tequila or beer nuts (I don’t even know what beer nuts are). Thanks, Alanna, and have a wonderful trip!

Also, you heard it here first, folks. Send money to Lorea. Or at least to the international NGO of your choice.
