NTM is appealing for more funds for their Disaster Relief Emergency Fund.
https://usa.ntm.org/mission-news/ntm-av ... oon-reliefAnd of course, people will give generously Because they genuinely care about people whose homes and livelihood have been damaged by natural disasters like typhoons.
And because they don't know that almost 3/4 of the money they gave for victims of Typhoon Haiyan two years ago actually ended up in the hands of provincial mayors on two islands in the Philippines, who are supposed to build airports with it.
12 million Philippine pesos was handed over to the island of Agutaya. And as far as I can tell, the NTM missionaries who were living on that island are now away on home leave, so who is making sure that money is being used for its intended purpose? (The purpose being for the construction of an airport, which is NOT typhoon relief!)
I am still so worked up about this redirection (misappropriation?) of funds! I don't know if anyone else cares, but I do!
And now NTM has the gall to ask for MORE money for disaster relief!
