This is not what I am looking for. The charity receipt just shows that I donate my money. I care more about where my money goes. That's why I ask the zoo to publicize how it deals with our donations.

After the Red Cross scandal, I do not believe any charity organizations.

If you need, you could get an official receipt afterwards. And you will find your information and how much you have donated on the official site of Giant Panda Fund.

That's what all I know about the donation to pandas at Chengdu Giant Panda Base.

Vanessa, the receipt just tells me that I donate money. I do not care about this. I just want to know whether it is used on the panda or some people just take my money as theirs.

Have read so many bad news about the charity organizations. It is difficult for me to believe any of them. Do you remember Wenchuan Earthquakes? Those who are in need of donations actually didn't get the donations. You are a Chinese. I think you know where the money goes.

After the Red Cross scandal, I swear that I won't donate money to any charity organizations. If possible, I will wire my money to those who are in need of help directly.

The Red Cross has learnt a lesson. Thus, it starts to publicize their account balances and hwo they use the money. To avoid this, it is good for the panda base to publicize its accounts too.

Any way, it's just my wish.

To 11484,
They don't put their contact numbers on the net, they only accept the inquiry of the local tour agency and guide. If you don't mind, please contact me by my email. Maybe I could do some help.

To JIMMYB,
As I know, they don't publicize how they use the money donated to pandas. But I do think they won't do the same thing as the Red Cross in China. I hope they won't let me down.

It's difficult to tell. The Red Cross is the biggest charity organization in China. But what happened to it?

It is the Panda Base's responsibility to publicize their accounts. They are responsible for those donators. Anyway, I won't pay so much to take a photo with a panda. I can afford it but i won't do it.

Your client were so kind. It cost him or her several hundred USD. I had a chance to watch the panda so closely in the zoo. There was just a thick glass wall between the panda and me. That's enough. I prefer to look at him from a distance because I do not want to disturb them.
