Sythic_507 karma

Is this awareness stuff really worth it? Maybe not comparable but I went on several mission trips with a Church as a kid and it seems like the money we raised for flight tickets and our "bonus day" at a 5 star resort at the end of it could have gone to building more homes and in the pockets of local builders rather than on us to barely lay a few bricks to just say "Hey, we helped, also Jesus"

Well its supposed to be a business address.

Sythic_19 karma

I know for one thing it would scrape the shit out of the inside of an orifice.

Sythic_8 karma

Yes though technically the code is not needed to process a transaction. Its just extra verification.

Maybe so, I hope their effort is worthwhile. Its just, they also just said this in response:

We aim to maximize our giving while also having the time of our life.

I just feel like at no point should charitable giving be about you. The moment you do it to gain a reputation or brag about what you've done to help the poor and unfortunate because you're such a selfless person or whatever, it takes away from your gift. You shouldn't have to tell the world about your good deed to feel satisfied about it. The act itself should be enough.

Credit where credit is due. They are making an effort to be charitable and a lot of people don't do that.
