Friday, I have to agree with you. My dd has worked for Oxfam for many years, starting after the 2004 tsunami when she happen to be in the area, where she was volunteering for a small charity and supporting herself by teaching English.
She has in between worked for other charities for short periods, including the American Red Cross, and still thinks Oxfam is better than most in trying to ensure that people's hard-earned donations are not wasted.
Oxfam has warehouses full of essential supplies ready to be shipped immediately to areas of natural disaster, and my dd was on the ground within just a few days, coordinating relief after the devastating Haiti earthquake and the equally catastrophic Philippines typhoon, among others.
She was recently in South Sudan - not exactly a safe area for foreigners, so I was in a bit of a tizz until she was safely back - where there are many thousands in dire need of food, water and shelter.
Just saying, but it does irk me when people who have little or no idea of how the money is actually spent (I don't mean the comments on here) like to say it is mostly wasted.
