Since 5 years I live in Africa (Mozambique and Tanzania). It’s very hard not to become too cynical about aid: the extremely comfortable homes of UN representitives etc and the local upper class versus the ongoing and even growing poverty of the mayority of the population.
The article you (Sharon Schneider) wrote was in that sense a relief to read (and very well written). Not cynical (which also seems to be the fashion in the media now), but very human and thoughtfull.

Thanks!

Ingrid

Sharon, our conversation this morning is prompting me to catch up on your blog.

Thank you for writing this. Thank you for writing — very well — about tough, important stuff.

This post should be syndicated, required reading for development professionals, philanthropists at any level, eco-travelers… the list goes on.
