Well... that´s what Africa´s "good" for....Sarcasm off.
It really breaks my heart to witness the way the African continent and the african people are completely and totally ignored by one and all. We need to concentrate on turning this around and not just allowing the chinese to dominate with their "aid" efforts - even tho its commendable that at least they have seen the need to do something (even if they have their agenda for doing so... who does´nt, unfortunately?).
One small way of helping IMHO is joining up here and helping small-scale entrepreneurs getting started with self-sufficiency. More suggestions welcomed!! http://www.kiva.org
