How much is a kid for a month? $30? $60? ($1/day? $2/day?)

With a 1000 kids that is only ~3-5 days worth of money! Sweet! Trip to Africa as incentive seems like a no brainer!!

I hate most charities (Not all though!!) - the people running them and marketing them seem to make/spend 60% to 90% of the money themselves. The government should mandate that every charity publish their yearly spending in a standardized form online and that they be audited once every few years to make sure it is legite so that the few REALLY good charities thrive, the middle ones pick it up, and the worst ones drop off.

I have heard that some of the biggest charities have people running them making large 6-digit salaries! Yikes... Put it this way, as much as i want to help i do not like giving money to groups whose employees make more than i do!!
