[rpd] IOF

[Daniel Yakmut]

To conclude this matter whether Larus Foundation has interested party
behind is not strange. I know as fact that all foundations have interested
parties funding their activities.

Take Bill Gates Foundation for example, they give all sorts of support
though they did no say we must all use or buy Microsoft products. However,
I know that there is something for Microsoft Corporation in all of it.

Therefore, if the funders behind Larus Foundation are benefitting from the
resources of Africa. They should also do some CSR, and in return they their
interest will be projected and possibly protected.

So, I think Larus Foundation is doing the usual. As simularly advocated by
my friends.
