I always wondered where the money went to. I hope it did not go to rich restaurant, bar, disco and hotel owners who got a free cheque to rebuild their places and make more money. I know I am very cynical but I would really be surprised if any of the cash went to the poor people. I have trouble giving cash aid for the simple reason I do not trust it goes to the ones who need it most, I fear it instead goes to "project developers".
