Extract (Note British spelling -- the American press declined to report
this)

New York - Former US president Bill Clinton announced on Monday a plan
to provide treatment for more than 60 000 Aids-infected children in
China and nine other countries, expanding a programme already underway
in Thailand and Brazil.

The William J Clinton Foundation will donate $10m to provide
AIDS-suppressing paediatric drugs to infected children in Asia, the
Caribbean and Africa.


Interestingly, the Bush Family is very wealthy, yet I am unaware of any
substantial charitable activities and donations of that family.


The question becomes why the gift was given and why a big deal was made
of the gift. If you make a donation and then tell everyone about it your
reasons for making the gife are suspect.

Yes, I'm sure the Gates Family Foundation shares your feeling. Not.

Does the Gates Family Foundation announce their donations or do the
recipient organizations announce that they have received a big pile of cash
from the Gates Family Foundation.

Again, why is the donation being publicly announced? What benefit is there
in having the donation or receipt of the donation publicly announced?

Many billions of dollars are donated each year with out the donation of or
receipt of those donation being publicly announced.
