OXFAM in deep poo? - NOT amateur radio

The charity OXFAM looks like it is in deep trouble. They seem to have mishandled their operation in Haiti in 2011. It would not surprise me if they lose lots in donations.

If OXFAM people want to use prostitutes this is a private matter and OXFAM should not be involved. The negative publicity is nothing short of a disaster for them.

Pakistan Floods

This map appeared on the Oxfam site today and gives a graphic indication of how much land is affected by the floods in Pakistan when overlaid on a map of the UK.  It must be truly awful for the poor people there affected by this with crops, homes and businesses in ruin. Just imagine if this happened here (see map) and think how we would like the rest of the world's governments and peoples to help.
