amanzimtoti: Third world aid
Third world aid
We recently had an American delegation from PEPFAR (the United States President’s emergency plan for AIDS relieve) visit our clinic. I didn’t stick around for the circus because preceding the visit a list of demands was given to the clinical manager. Now PEPFAR isn’t even one of our major sponsors – from what I understand the money they’ve given us was just enough to put up some shelves in our pharmacy. Don’t get me wrong, we’re grateful for any donations, but if you’re going to give money for a worthy cause, you should do it out of the goodness of your heart, not so you can make them jump through hoops for you.

Ugly Americans.
