Guest guest Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 Hello Triptika: I know what is said below are not your thought, but most of it isn't generally true. There are a lot of people making big incomes, but they're NOT ALL immoral people. I know a lot of foreigners (White folks) who have extremely high income and they're the most charitalbe and kind people I've met.--And their charity and kindness isn't a means to advertise their power and wealth, these are high-income/middle-income suburban people who like to stay low key, yet perform kind deeds.--What do these people have to do with Nepal, India and the African continent? Nothing really!!!, yet they fund successful charities for the less-fortunate. I know a lot of East-Indians here in the US and in India who have high morals and DON'T have low character. -- These folks are quitely doing their charity work.--very, very wealthy people, but no-one EVEN LOCALLY have heard of them and they're using the millions of dollars they've made at Microsoft, Cisco, Intel, NSC, GE, Motorolla and other successful US conglomerates to discreetly fund charities in India.
