I also think they spend too much money on administrative costs and salaries for their board of directors and leadership.

I think it's time for that entire corrupt entity to fold their tent and go off into the sunset--let some other group like Avon or a new charity take over these efforts and do it with an eye towards maximizing cash on the target.
