You never know the problems your generosity has caused

I was meeting with a woman from UNICEF the other day and she had an interesting comment about how destructive the tsunami relief was for orphans. She said that after the tsunami, there were virtually no orphans...family members absorbed them all. Of course many good hearted volunteers decided to raise money for the orphans and build homes for them. Once the homes were built, kids who had homes were left in the orphanges for a variety of reasons. It turns out the orphanges probably did more harm than good.
