Our World On Wings

People who complain about what percentage of collections reach programmes often fail to consider.

They sit in offices 5 days a week and expect a salary to house, clothe and feed their family.

Their logic departs as they expect charity workers to go to their work 5 days a week for a year and should not expect a salary.

Of course volunteers help for nothing but mainstream staff need a wage.

Ask the landlord of the retail space; “Can We Have Free Rent – We Are A Charity, or PWC“, “Will you do our Accounting for Nothing”; a new Car dealer, “May we have three cars for nothing”  and so on -So let’s grasp reality by reiterating what we said above – a PARADOX – not understood by many;

A Charity is Simply a Business in Reverse.

Businesses collect CASH from affluent Clients and expend to provide Paid Products & Services – Charities collect tax deductible Cash from affluent Donor Clients and expend to provide Free Alms & Services to the Needy & Less Fortunate.

Normal Business: In its business simple form, after producing revenue from sales, businesses deduct wages rent and overheads, pay taxes and what is left as after tax profit is shared by the business and shareholders.

Charity Business: In its charity simple form, after producing revenue from donors, charities deduct wages rent and other overheads, pay taxes [if any] and what is left as after tax profit; – fund the planned programmes of the charity.

Red Cross say they don’t own any aircraft, but they have Nine on Wet Lease From Civil Operators.

We will use corporate innovative flair, and draw on the Red Cross template for good ideas to import. Like Red Cross, we employ models to deal with corruption and greed, the foundation & staff must meet community expectations, to  maintain faith with donors and reassurance that contributions are well spent.

We will review how Red Cross and Red Crescent contribute meaningfully to ICRC ‘Geneva and Humanitarian Aid & Disaster Relief ‘ – ‘HADR’ operations.

This was the  Raison D’être – for – ‘Jets for Christ’ – JFC   – which we established [1999] – in Nevada, as a disaster first responder, with rescuers, first aid, sniffer dogs.

This spends donor monies more wisely; insofar as – world governments provide equipment, the medical teams, dogs et al.

– Eden Rock simply reflects this glory, when planes touch down and the viewing public see, Eden Rock on the planes. JFC Grand-fathered the name and slogan  ‘Surrounding a Hurting World – with a Legacy of Love and Hope’ – to Gary Artes and Eden Rock.
