(the stomach doesn't have ears) meaning that when you are starving you can't really think about or hear much else. I think that is probably true...besides it is a great image.<BR/><BR/>And I have been meaning to answer your question on your blog, regarding the concept of "the real Africa". I totally know what you are saying and find it a fascinating question.<BR/><BR/>I'll try and head over your way for that discussion soon.shona congohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06354335029803622743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251067692014237805.post-87075637592846426722009-03-19T01:12:00.000-07:002009-03-19T01:12:00.000-07:00Am practically crying. Moving stuff!I understand y...Am practically crying. Moving stuff!<BR/><BR/>I understand your dilemma. But I also think that we who have so much, must share, but not in a way that makes the person who we share with depreciate the value of attempting to help themselves. Both donating and teaching/empowering have their value and place. I also have a hard time understanding people who justify not donating by saying that we should only help the people in need to help themselves. Sometimes hungry children just have to have food, before their mother can be microfinanced to start her own business.<BR/><BR/>I think you are doing an awesome thing!<BR/><BR/>P.s. Forgot to answer your question on Women's day, but that was also because here in SA it didn't amount to anything...<BR/><BR/>Stay Strong!Extranjerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13972708570414496825noreply@blogger.com
