My reply to Sasurai, the world needs to know!

The only organizations that appear to have a pure ethic are Doctors Without Borders and the Optometrists Organization that distribute free eye glasses.
Other ogranizations which give free education usually have religious agendas, won't allow children into their school unless they convert to their faith. Supposedly whole traditions on villages have been lost due to this.
What needs to be done is to let these countries be left alone and let the people sort out their own affairs. What the west can do is get rid of trade restrictions, let Africa export crops. I'm in Ethiopia, a country which everyone sees as a waste land of starvation! That's bull shit, this place is a bread basket! Farmers won't farm due to restrictive trade agreements, and they can't produce for local markets because of all the stupid food aid that's brought in from the UN. The market next to me sells tinned 'US Aid' tins, which clearly on the side says 'NOT FOR RESELL'.
We need to get rid of the stupid farmer's subsidies in our countries like the US, Canada, and the ones in Europe. Then the Africans can actually compete, not to mention it will allow our countryside at home to regenerate and let the wildlife grow.
Man, working in Africa has made me so so so bitter.
