In the wake of the appalling tragedy in Myanmar, appeals for donations are flying around thick and fast. Given the corruption which is rife in Myanmar I would have hoped that the charities which are clamouring for funds might have taken the trouble to spell out to donors how they will ensure that aid is not diverted into the pockets of the junta and its cronies. A lot of people are reluctant to give money for this battered country because they do not believe that their charitable donations will be properly put to use.
