Nor is it the goal of the program to impress you (at least I doubt it is), if you do not think this is a good program worthy of your charitable donations then don't support it. While I cannot claim to know where 100% of this programs funds come from, it is simple in general to show your dislike for a non-profit, don't buy into it, don't give them your donation. The author of the article your post links to and your own post make it sound as though YOU have a stake in this program when in reality you probably do not*.
*By stake I mean a direct financial cost to you. It is possible a program like this could receive some government funding and thus there is an indirect cost to you as a portion of your tax receipts might be paying for the program. But, considering all government spending on foreign aid is estimated at only 16.994 Billion dollars for 2007 (Approx 0.6% of the Fed Budget) I think such an arguement fails when compared to other Federal spending problems.
