It would be wonderful if we could manage a way to reach out to those people who are in desperate needs. A small portion of our contribution can make a big difference in their lives - not to mention the heavenly satisfaction that we will accomplish by helping out our brothers and sisters. However, the irony is that there is no guarantee that the contributed money will make it to the targeted communities. I would be more than happy to allot a certain portion of my wages every month if there was a guarantee.
