good deed,...BUT!
I really hope that the U$200,000 that were raised get taken to DR personally and distributed accordingly by some of the people that helped raise it. You just can't trust dominicans with a lot of money in their hands and no system of accountability whatsoever, which the whole country needs to implement 'like yesterday', not in the future, from the Palacio Nacional on down. I've been trying to recall where I read that some of the military personnel that was sent in to help distribute the medicine that was donated to the victims are actually bagging quite a bit of it and I just know it's not to bring back and stock the shelves of the SD hospitals that need it most. If this monetary contribution just gets handed to the sharks in DR, somebody is going to have plenty of newly found stranger best friends in the DR. I hope someone don't let that happen, but like Trujillo said once "el burro no come bicocho". (donkeys don't eat cake)
