A Place called my Mind

So i am now in grad school but i don't feel like i have grown at all..i am still in the mental state of the more i know the less i understand......i am still in the position of not understanding the world in it's injustice for the poor. i am sitting in this class with everyone talking about right based approaches with case studies and more on the faces of NGO. so personally i don't think that the NGO's are benefiting the developing countries, they are missing the bigger picture of actually helping them develop rather disabling a whole generation of people in the long run.....by mouth feeding people in the name of eradicating poverty to me seems like a short term goal. what happens tomorrow when people cannot stop donating?

i remember listening to this guy called war child...first his name was really intriguing. a gentleman from Sudan who was a child soldier who got saved by a white lady to whom he is grateful for now since his life turned out differently than what we thought it would be. he was talking about the importance of education. As i was listening to him i realized that, wow...this dude is making a great point. he is talking against dropping food from the sky and actually educating people to get this food on their own.....

i agree with this idea but with one condition....to make sure that the education that is provided should make sure to empower the people of who they are rather than who they want them to became in what they think they should become.....As africans we should be stronger on what we believe and stop depending on the "western world' to fix our problems. yes we are not in the same position as they are but we have an advantage, we have the best geographic area plus the man power that have been used by our oppressors for years

that's all i have for now
