Hmm Warren Buffet.  It's easy to give money when you are rich.  But he has scorned his grandaughter and cut her off because she gave an interview without his permission.  He even went as far as penning a letter to her saying he has no grandaughter.  As for me I find these people are doing a wonderful job without much money and money raised only through public awareness. http://learningtogive.org/papers/paper199.html  Also this person http://www.hungersolutions.org/open-your-heart-hungry-and-homeless And I don't want to bring politics into it but Jimmy Carter.  At his age he is still going out and building houses for habitat for humanity.  He isn't like Bush who is leaving Washington to go enjoy his new house in Texas his wife bought him for Christmas. As for Warren Buffet I guess he is charatable as long as you go for his program and do what he says. Just ask his grandaughter.  Oh I forgot he doesn't have one now.
