PD:

I mean no disrespect or contempt towards you. So, please do not take my following lines personally. Thank you. I rather appreciate your initiative in terms of a reminder to myself to spare a few dimes for the needy.

You know, this whole world of ours would be a great place if we people actually cared about each other all the time instead of in short bursts every now and then.

And that includes sham organizations and their cookie jars, which I'd sum up as nothing but daylight robbery without pointing a weapon at the crowd. And no, it's got nothing to do with sparing 120 Dirhams (our family of 4) but the way people are taken for a ride by such organizations.

As for me, I'd rather do this on a straightforward individual level through a non-profit charity, bar involvement of a state-sponsored organization.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll take a raincheck on this occasion!
