Each time a starving child appears on TV and some so-called 'star' such as Ewan McGregor pleads with us to donate this or that just strengthens my resolve never to pay a cent to any of these.
You can only go to the well so often. They were putting out this kind of crap years ago so if they haven't sorted things out by now with the money that has been given to these people , and there have been LOTS of money over the years , then it will never happen.
Remember the TV ads ? "Give him a fish and he will feed his family for a day............give him a net and he will feed his family for life". We have been giving out nets for at least 15 years and he still can't feed his family!!. How many nets do these people need !!.
I have a South African daughter-in-law and she told me that at a nearby village to where she used to live , a EU funded charity put in a toilet block. The locals quickly turned the toilet block into a rack where they could put their push bikes.
I feel deeply when I see babies crying for lack of food , but the sad fact is it is happening in our own countries as well.
