  1. "m sorry but I don’t see the UN’s project being more than a big failure. The greed of humans and our appetite for power will never let that happen. Only divine help can get rid of poverty.

  2. i think it’s great that you also participated in blog action day. 🙂

    for my part, i turn to sites like freerice, kiva and goodsearch, as ways to help alleviate poverty online, in fairly straightforward ways.
