I say water, so that they can do things like grow crops, sell them and make money then use that for healthcare... let alone stay alive and bathe. What do you think?

Peace

What do you mean by Peace? I'm talking about povert-stricken Africa... like the areas you see on World Vision commercials.

Don't knock me here! On a serious side note...maybe birth control should be given to these countries whose birth rates continue to soar and cause more starving people...I often wonder where starving people get the energy to have sexual relations...or to even have it cross their minds in their weakened states....just a thought.

I voted for food....this can be given to them faster than supplying water to grow crops....and bottled water is included in the food shipments.

how about New Government across the Country? Not totally corrupt individuals who oppress and deny their people's so many things?

they need all of those things, but it starts at the top

Fishy: But you have to think of immediate relief for these people....government reform in these countries is a long way off!

[Ciberblade]

That whole list is currently provided in very large quantities...the problem is that the controlling government is the primary recipient. The people suffer while those in charge get stronger....that will continue until the people unify themselves to stand strong (it will not be easy)

The main issue in treatment of the country as a whole...as I see it...is economic. Allow the people to work and trade for themselves, with the money that is currently being held from those that need it most.

Just look at the Arab's...when they found oil...very shortly after they announced it, within hours.... our Government was flying in droves of chartered planes to kiss some serious Arabian hiney "we'll protect you- we'll protect you!"

As in Rwanda it seems that the world cares far less of Africa than I do

Addicted to oil, where greed is the syringe

[angelize56]

Is there a 12-step program for that....we're about 11 steps behind!

this world is a mess! That is plain to see! It's how we fix it in a collective way, with realistic modern approaches that don't involve such things as greed-corruption-oppression etc etc etc

where the human race moves on to a new understanding and where morals actually mean something and the word Humanity reigns supreme
