In Akron ohio I saw a Large semi-Like a Roadway type truck with the name planet air. I knew I had some old womenns clothes to donate and was ready to put them into a box(they were over stuffed). I wondered how a charity could afford to buy all the expensive diesel fuel. I believe Planet air non profit profit for the owners . Its layered and keeps 70 percent for its own. It might keep it all since the petersons invented Planet aid years ago and have their fingers in it .

I can personally attest to TVIND-connected programs in Africa, which would include Planet Aid, as being poorly managed, grossly under-resourced, tragically under-evaluated as to integrity and effectiveness, and engaged in exploitive practices regarding use of often young, naive and inappropriately trained volunteers, impoverished local people (including children) and unquestioning donors. My observations and opinions are based on 4 years experience in southern Africa, twenty years of living and working elsewhere in Africa, as well as Asia and the middle East, and my background in social work and community organizing.
