It is fine and dandy to ask for funds and I appreciate the seriousness of the situation. However, Madame Hadassah, how will you be making sure that charitable funds from your organization are not placed into the hands of one crooked individual? And, what about our board of directions and advisors, are they still going to be in their same positions as the money is donated?

Mme, before you ask for funds, first lets see a good house cleaning wherein responsible people are appointed who don’t believe in gambling with charitable funds. Moreover, what about the waste that goes on, what are you going to do about this?
