WILL
to donate is common
It is important
that they have will
to donate.
We think if they
have WILL to donate
then either they
can donate directly
to NGOs or Charities
they want in their
country or any country
outside (if they
have said it in
their legal staement)
or may have strategy
to donate specific
issues, so they
can donate it to
NGOs issuewise irrespective
of the country.
It is important
that they have a
WILL to donate.
In India we have
seen WILL can be
challenged.
That is ok in democratic
world.
After all everyone
has WILL, some to
do good, some to
do bad and some
others to challenge
good and waste world's
time & money.
