Don't mind me saying this here; I'm just voicing out the concerns from some of our posters there.
Main issues are the lack of information on any activities, or to be exact on what they are saying, the lack of a voice from the supposed organizer(s).

I may be wrong on this - if for example, the main intention of the section is that "whoever is interested, do come up yourself with an activity plan and discuss it here & lets everyone participate in it". Personally, I have no problem on that as well, but if seeing that after all it is a charity move under the name of LYN, then maybe the organizer(s) should be the first to conduct some activities so that everyone can then starts off from there (they know each other via breaking the ice, they got contacts to share, collaboration & organizing activities, etc).

Like I said, I may be wrong (maybe the section is now on hold, who knows?)
So I'll just be the black sheep on this issue.

The objective of the charity foundation remains the same, however, we've suffered some setbacks recently.

1. the members who we initially earmarked to get the project kickstarted mysteriously started getting called on away missions.

2. most members were more comfortable with providing cash instead of time to the cause (which was never the objective of the foundation)

3. lack of proper information of homes/charity organizations that need help (those that are publicly well known usually already have hefty amount of people contributing and don't seem to be very receptive to "small" community type help)

Nevertheless, we're not giving up. There are some projects earmarked for the Charity Foundation and this time we'll be starting small. As with all our other projects, we prefer to get all the details sorted out before we make it public. Rest assured that even with our overly hectic schedule, we've not and will not neglect the Charity Foundation or any other project that we've promised to implement.

Roger that bro, thanks for the reply.
At least now we know of the situation from your post, and that we can help to quote it as clarification reference for anyone that would be asking the same question (while waiting for the future plans from your side).
