think before donating

UNICEF should be last to vocalize exploitation of child labor. Every year, children act as minions of UNICEF, collecting on the organization's behalf, costing 'em little or nothing. All they gotta do is air cartoon ads that appeal to their source of free labor.

If you were to visit its site, UNICEF is very vague about what it is that they exactly do. If, for example, their mission is to feed the poor, why is it not mentioned? My guess is that UNICEF contracts out such services to private entities. But the question is, why isn't UNICEF transparent about these things? Why not include that in an ad? Better yet, show some results or disclose how the money is spent.
