VILLAGE AIDE PROGRAM (VAP rip-off) as we know it.

Sick and tired of all those "philanthropists" begging us for money for the “poor children in the third world”! They are all over the web, in the streets, malls, airports, PP presentations in Rotary and other clubs and associations and I'm sure I missed many!. How much of this money will actually reach the destination intended? Dear reader, is not the first time you are reading this. You heard before about crooks in the charities business, don't you? Is it fair to say they are nothing else but a bunch of criminals pocketing 90% of the donation with the remaining 10% they actually spent was just for the picture and clips in the youtube. Many come from Churches created by evils and atheists, or individuals within "above suspicion community service organizations mith names like “children this and children that SOS! in danger! starving! etc accompanied with dramatic pictures like they informing us of something we didn’t already know” But lately, the Rotary International is also being used (and abused) by Rotarians covering their “philanthropic” activities in the most subtle and hard to detect scams, unless you are one of those initiated with good observances skills but playing the stupid and idiot to avoid suspicion.

To be a whistle blower it takes a rare courage that not many possess. In the end, the whistle blower is the one with the most integrity, and I'd like to think, the one you would want most for the job. While whistle blowing can get you in a lot of hot water, it is something I like to think I would dare to do. When I see wrongs, it bothers me - a lot, and after praying about it, if I feel whistle blowing is the only (or the best) option, I would probably do it. It's a matter of integrity in a world where so many are cutting corners and doing whatever it takes to up the bottom line.
The repercussions of whistle blowing will probably not be life-threatening, but the repercussions of not whistle blowing when it's called for can destroy your peace of mind. Money and jobs are important, but peace of mind is even more important. So, blow that whistle baby, and let the chips fall where they may. You will be the better person for it.

The purpose of this blog is not only to alert Rotarians and others around the world contributing to the VILLAGE AIDE PROGRAM (VAP) with donations and/or volunteer work.In this blog, EVAN ILIADIS a former Rotarian and manager of the VAP in the Philippines will clearly explain the accusations against those who abused your money, with supporting documents in his possession, the real purpose of this organization, how it all started, and where it stands today. You'll also learn how the distribution of the Matching Grants awarded by the ROTARY INTERNATIONAL around the world, actually the third world, is implemented and who's the real beneficiary of the "projects"

THE TRIAL updated May 1st 2009 Conflicts, misunderstanding rivalry exists within any group of people that gather to achieve a common goal, be a club, a church or a fraternity; usually will end up with the exclusion of one party preserving so the unity of the group, exclusion not always carefully and rightfully planned and executed. The last place you would have expect this to happen is the Rotary International. Is this the first time that happened? We don’t know. Don’t count on Rotary to tell you, neither on active Rotarians.

HE 3CASATE VILLAGE DROUGHT RELEIF RIP-OFF Some time in the year 2006 Dave Collins and Derek Pyrah were unhappy that not enough money flows on the VAP account in the Philippines. This can be demonstrated in several mails exchanged I have in file. In these mails they are looking for ways to increase their income “for the poor and needy” out side the Rotary where apparently the collect didn’t work as they wanted to. The Matching Grand Applications to TRF were slow to produce, too bureaucratic for a Collins as anxious he can be. They decided to seek instant gratification by inventing a Darfour situation in the North of the island in a place named Ubay in the village of Cassate. Click tp read more
