| This is a constant problem, one that I've run into, and I can emphathize with you on it. There are a lot of people who are trying to do good in China, doing things that the government should encourage or be doing itself. But because the system is top down in nature, the government tells the charitable organizations what to do and those organizations have little power to lobby the government. As I talked about in a previous comment, it takes individuals willing to do things on their own, but then they run into potential illegality issues. Its constant problem to consider bringing a group to the attention to the government, because you don't know whether you can find a bureaucrat who will look upon you kindly or one that will frown on what you're doing and stop you completely. What your friends are doing is great and I am certainly willing to do what I can to help out a good cause like this. |
