While I’m inclined to agree that from long list of supports, US contributed an ample sum, I was struck by idea of publicizing almost all listings of support made by various countries. Even at radio and TV reports this happens. Aren’t there good, “anonymous” Samaritans, anymore? What’s to be gained by constantly hollering amount of contributions they are giving out to devastated countries in Asia Pacific regions? If there’s an ulterior motive to gain something out of giving out aids, then that’s not “giving” – that’s “taking advantage” of situation.
Now, probably, that’s what Egeland is talking about. Stinginess, not because of how much amount of aids is but “stinginess” because true essence of “giving” is lost. Too much publicity and too much precondition may have been done that it appears not an aid but a business transaction.
I’m not saying that’s bad but I know it’s not a good practice to take advantage of a disaster which victimized almost 20,000 people in several third-world countries.
