It's not so much that I'm giving up on the whole idea of aid, but rather, go back to the drawing board and figure out a better way to do this. Give responsibly, follow the dollars that are given and make sure they are used appropriately...create a system of incentives for governments. Now you've got me started :).Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16082799023794541922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12479427.post-28718874206189516912008-11-30T14:10:00.000-05:002008-11-30T14:10:00.000-05:00Kara, funny story, and well-written.

"What miracle is it going to take to fix this country?" It's easy to get depressed, thinking that all of the band-aids in the world aren't going to help. But, try to think on a smaller scale. Have you heard the starfish story? I'm sure you have: "It made a difference to that one." The brokenness of humanity is visible on the outside in places like Cambodia and Haiti, but rest assured that North Americans are just as broken on the inside. <BR/>You're doing good work. I think change can start small and work its way up. Hope you are well...miss you!kelly annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17585659035879444346noreply@blogger.com
