Am I wrong about watching donations as if they were movie returns?
I really don't fully understand the fascination with constantly listing who gives what. Is this some sort of competition? Does the most generous nation win a prize at the end? I really find the entire exercise pointless.

I put my faith in individuals not governments.

My advice: find a charity you trust and give to them. And then make sure that they are spending your money wisely.
