I recall an amusing anecdote from a pakistani person who said that Gordon College in Lahore (a christian organization) offered free tuition to a number of people every year if they converted to christianity. The rate at which people converted back after graduation was astounding.

My only real beef with Christian charities is just that, they want to convert everyone on the planet, not a good thing. Other than that they do good work.

Setting aside local church based charities (which I would agree in general with your statement) are you familiar with international charities (like CCF) to comment on: the percentage of the donated dollar that goes DIRECTLY to the intended recipient's benefit?

This is something that is obviously going to vary from charity to charity but CCF puts 80% of its revenue directly into program costs. They spend 8% for admin and 11% on fundraising. Incidentally, that info was pulled off one of the sites Otis listed above.

Hmm, based on that andecdote, I am guessing that Lahore College is not an academic powerhouse. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
