I think that everyone (especially developped countries) should have to go in a mission as an United Nations Volunteer (UNV) for 6 months min. So many people needs our knowledge and Help and inexorably money.Information, Education...And let's forget about any African debts...so ashamed of what we could do and that we don't so much...so much people careless and ignorant. Let's tell the World for once!

Developing nations do not lack volenteers. They lack stable governments free of coruption. Hugo Chavez for example is determined to run Venuzuala into oblivion. Saddam did a great job of destroying Iraq. Pinochet Argintinia, and so on. , The two party system is doing a great job of leading the US down the road to self destruction. In a similer question 5 major causes of poverty were established. 1. Corruption. 2 - domestic conflicts (i.e. coups, tribal wars that lasts for generations, domestic terrorism) 3 - lack of jobs and education 4 - natural disasters destroying infrastructures every year 5 - over population While any of the top 4 reasons persist no amount of money can help a nation. Nor can the entire worlds popluation descending on that nation to help give them signifcant lasting aid. #3 is a direct cause and effect of #1 in all nations except those completely lacking in natural resources. Still the Bahammass have managed to forge a strong economy despite a complete lack of resources. They did this by not having a corrupt Government. $5 can be overcome if the other 4 problems are solved. #5 will tend to solve itself anyway as education and affluence improve. Wealthy people are busy people and also are sometimes wealthy because they limit the number of children they have and start to have children later in life. Children are expensive and having children too early even in developed nations is often to bind yoruself into economic slavery. So a concrete method which will actually help the world is the foundation of groups who will promote Democracy and anti-corruption in the third world. That will circumvent media control in nations like Cuba for example to deliever the real news and aid to fight corrupt tyrannies like that found in such nations. Socialism itself is honey to corruption. The more power and influence a Gov has in peoples lives the more opportunity for coruption and the greater the effect corruption will have on people's everyday lives. It is a direct correlation. China has had to resort to the death penalty to attempt to fight corruption. It was corruption which brought the Soviet blcok down. A pervasive corruption that is weathering even a change to a free market economy. Democracy does not guarentee freedom. Only the vigilence of a nations people can guarentee it's own freedom. Once corruption is reduced and the Goverment is lifted off of the market. Then loans and volenteers can make a rapid and meaningfull contribution. You can give a person chained to a huge rock all the jogging gear, water, dietary suppliments and encouragement you want. You can give them books about running. You can teach them all about running but you cannot help them run while they are chained to the rock. Government is a rock. The bigger the Government the bigger the rock all the people in that nation are chained too. A small rock is an annoyance. A big rock is to block all progress and make the person dependent on the rock for it's dailly livelyhood. Government is not the only source of corruption. Culture too must be fought in some parts of the world. Concepts that link a man's machismo to the number of children they are able to sire is a cultural factor that directly contributes to world poverty. Birth control is taboo in some cultures as it defeats a man's ability to procreate, thus lowering that man's status in that culture. A strong work ethic is required to avoid poverty. People have to see real rewards for work or they will always do the bare minium to get by. If a culture creates a situation where hard work is not rewarded then hard work will not happen often. If a family that works hard to get ahead is held back by local Gov or extended family why would any family in that culture strive to succeed? So Corruption is more than a factor of Governent. It's also a factor of culture.
