Empty promises don't feed starving people, it doesn't give peasant farmers a decent wage and it doesn't pay for much-needed medicines.
It's really surprising how little it costs to help and the money donated is used to build wells, schools, hospitals, houses. It is used to provide people with a future.
It's OK to feed somebody for the day but it would be much better to teach him to farm and give him the tools to do so.
I think we need to open our eyes and look around, see how lucky we are. Then we can start to help others to live."
