Re: Poor African Countries
Hi All.
Thought you all would have woke up to why the water tap is miles from the village, it's to toughen them up and train the people too walk miles, then when the time comes they walk to Libya and get on a rubber dinghy made for ten people , but there are two hundred on it, but the all that walking has toughened them up, the dinghy's are paid for with the money the Govt didn't find in those sacks buried all over the Nigeria; from the collections made in Britain, then with help from the EU they arrive in Britain and the job is complete.
Cheers Des

Re: Poor African Countries
There was a report here in Oz a couple of years ago on how much of the money peopel donate to charity actualy goes to those it is meant for.
In many cases as low as 5% goes to the needy we are told so much about.
There was a time when I did make contributions, four a year of about $25, but now only to the hospital where I had my Prostate op, there I can see just where it goes.


Happy daze John in Oz.
