  1. I'm surviving on 11k per year in a 'name brand' country. It's been a lesson in humility, stoicism and what's truly important. And no, I don't blame anyone, it's just the way things go sometimes.

  2. I think a team of citizen journalists need to investigate all of these organizations, expose the roaches hiding under cover. Here's some questions for those journalists. #1 Is it TRUE that charitable aid sent to Africa goes STRAIGHT to the Warlords and does Fack All for the people who actually need the help? 1a, how many other parts of the world does this apply to if it is indeed true? #2, Is it TRUE that the 'protectors' sent to 'help' these 3rd World Countries see them as having a different set of rules than 'Home' and you can do what you want and run amok there? I actually vaguely remember a conversation along those lines I overheard as a young child in the 70's, amongst a group of older adults who had travelled. I suspect some parts of society still think this way. It is why slave labour to make your Smart Phones is just let slide and nobody talks about it. Sorry for all the editorializing in a question, the force is strong this morning ;) #3, What question do you folks think we need to ask these 'Charities'?
