Finding those people who you can really trust is hard back home, for me it was. If you find a person or a group of people who you can put all your trust in and give them the money and tell them to do something worthy and leave it all up to them and keep an eye once in a while then that's good and you are in luck and our people who are in need are fortunate. If I do find the right person or right people I will definitely contribute money to my home town where I grew up for sanitation, water, education etc time to time.

Looks like your contributions are not into right people. Thanks to my seniors from my school who r in India and abroad and who created a site for the school fund. I am happy to say that last week the first programme, undertaken was a borewell for the hostel. How nice it is. Spent Rs30000. I can remember water scarcity we suffred in school hostels. Like this there are many places where really need help. Like hospitals,studies for poor,equipment for schools, if not monetory help, you can do a lot to society.

I totally agree with Mrs Manjula. You do so much to close family members, but they think differently. Many of our relatives think we earn dollars in US without doing any hard work. They do not realize how much effort we put in here (by working late evenings, weekends etc). We have some close relatives who took money as a loan 5 years ago (saying that they will give back in 2 months), till now they did not pay a single rupee. Further 6 months ago they came back again asking for lot more money with added condition that they will not be able to pay any thing for at least 2 years. I do not want to help any body, who tries to exploit my helping nature. I do not want to help to any individual or organization who promotes laziness (just distributes after taking their share). Our contribution should just fill the small gap(under 10%) between the enormous hard work by beneficiary(over 90%) and the need(100%). All my recent contributions fit this profile and I know exactly how money given by me will be spent. Kudos to Rajesh Naidu (and scores of others) who did identify nice beneficiaries like schools etc.

I did contribute sooo much every time I go back home, I mean to my own people/family first. Contributing my time to the family, which no one appreciates anymore they just humiliate you cause you are living abroad, I give expensive gifts, they take it but humiliate you behind your back, and, people want me to show them entire US just cause I'am living here in US, if you don't they humiliate you for that too. People expect soo much and still degrade you and your feelings just cause you are living abroad. Every friend I spoke with sort of have similar problems everytime they go back home with close family members. I'am sick and tired of it and yeah I definitely would rather GIVE to charities and people in need in India rather than giving to family members. Hard earned money will go for a good cause, recieving side atleast show appreciation and you feel like you have done something right.

Rajesh you are 100% right, but it will defenitely help others and I don't think there is any thing wrong in this. Anyway it is up to the people..I hope tp can understand it. I contributed Rs 2500 for my school recently.

Even if we do some thing its not good to open to public, cause people may think we are talking about ourself more. So better not to disclose those things... It is up to you to feel whether u did any thing good for the people or society.
