It is a shame that we never learn in our own need to help that what we are really doing is helping ourselves, not those in Africa who really need it. I have lived in Lesotho for half my life and have seen many such people with good intentions think they are leaving the country a better place but all they have done is continue to allow a government to remain unaccountable to its citizens by letting charity operations do what they are supposed to. These girls are just small pawns in this game, if the citizens of your fine county and state and country really wanted to help people they would demand that their aid organizations do not give money to tyrant countries and leaders who do not care for their citizens and in fact keep them down and in chaos so the leaders can enrich themselves. Please contact your congressman and senator and make your voice heard in a more productive way that 'helping the poor African's with your presence." Your leaders can make foreign aid (USAID, Millenium Challenge Account, etc) accountable to the beneficiaries it aims to help, not the politicians who speak the rhetoric and vote with the US in the United Nations. Those organizations providing ARV's to people living with AIDS in Africa know that when the funding dries up the host countries will not pick up the slack, this is the reality of good intentions...a long road to hell.
