January 5th, 2012: Who Should We Donate To?

Out of all the organizations available, I think the Red Cross is the most suitable because of it's ability to provide aid to victims of disaster, internationally. The Red Cross is based in the United States; however, the Red Cross provides humanitarian aid to victims of disaster and war internationally. Since the Red Cross isn't limited to only one country, this means that all countries are elligible for aid in getting out of post-war or post-genocide predicaments. Since this is true, I think that third-world countries suffering from war may have a chance to have their issues reported and get the help they need quicker. Also, the Red Cross doesn't just treat victims of disaster, they also help to prevent disaster as well. Since this is true, I think this means that the Red Cross may be able to prevent war crimes and other crimes relating to genocide. Since the Red Cross can prevent disaster, they may be able to recieve reports on genocide/war crimes and go in to stop the crimes before it's too late. Therefore, due to international responses and ability to treat and prevent, the Red Cross is a suitable organization to donate to.
