When I studied at St. Peter's Seminary in London, Ontario, it was obligatory for all seminarians to volunteer in the 'Save a Family Plan' office which was headquartered there. ( 'Headquartered is a lavish term for one small office in the basement! ) It was one charity that actually delivered more than 100% of every donation to direct care of the poor in India, working often in partnership with the Sisters of Charity. If it is possible to do this, why do some NGO's (UNICEF being a prime example) spend so much of their revenue on overhead, staffing and 'educational' ( read 'lobbying' here ) efforts. Mother Teresa certainly set the standard that all who work with the poor must strive to attain. America Magazine
