I dont know, but somewhere i think it has an unethical side to it, and i mean donating money for charity as a whole.
Basically people buy themselves peace of conscience by donating a small amount of money that doesnt hurt them to feel good about helping somebody (yay, 2% of my yearly income saved a life!). Then go back to surfing the web on their made-in-china-under-miserable-working-conditions macbook pro. You get the idea, i am guilty of this myself.
I mean of course its a wonderful thing that somehow we can help these people and it has to be done (i do too), but we shouldnt forget that many of these sufferings are symptoms of our excessive lifestyle in the western world.
