I really feel a dull sense of pain in my heart regarding the NKF saga.It's equivalent to getting one's heart broken by a failed relationship.
More dirt been drummed up in the court proceedings.How 'his' family had helped him to destroy evidence.
I wonder whether his daughter had helped in that event. I remember her writing to the papers to defend her father's integrity. I hope she did not write that while knowingly being an accomplice to the shredding.
Hold no overidding desire for punishment for those guilty. They had already 'enjoyed' their kickbacks. No amount of punitive action can ever right the wrong they did. However understand it is necessary symbolically and as a warning to would be scum.
Damage to the charities had already been done and is irrevocable.
Consider me a casualty of giving to charities from now on. Everytime I am approached with donation issues, my mind immediately thinks of NKF saga and whether my donations are being used fruitfully.Since then, I have always say no thank you,100%. How can I be sure anymore
One might say, don't lump them all in the same basket. It's hard you know? I have 'trust issues'.It only takes once to lose my trust and a long long long time to gain it back.
Like Darkseed said, 'if you want to help meaningfully, time is your best donation and not money'
I will take that advice seriously, my love.
