When every year there's an advert on the TV saying how much they're struggling as though past donations never happened? Surely they're inevitably getting worse every year because their population's increasing so rapidly.

Donating money to Africa is nothing but a band aid. The only way for Africa to get better, is for all the governments in Africa to stop being so corrupt and start making changes to help there citizens.

NOW PLAYING: New Super Mario Bros Wii, Zelda: Spirit Tracks, Final Fantasy DissidiaWell, if we want to help Africa, money can certainly help. There are so many litle things we have here that many poor, starving children over there do not get t have. Sending in some money will help some of the kids get food and some shelter and maybe some school supplies.

They are still millions of people starving with no shelter and covered with fly's. Its hasn't got much better even with donations. And they still want to have the ads that make it seem as bad as possibly so you'll keep donating. They wont say "Okay, so there not as hungry anymore and have a little bit more shelter, so there is no need to donate anymore, lets just go back to square 1
" they want you to keep donating, African society will never be as rich as North American or European society, but there is still hope.I think that if Africa was like North America that would mean another continent that polutes a lot, so its a tough topic.

[/QUOTE] This is a very scary thought. I would hope some people out there do stuff out of compasion / caring rather than just a need to feel like a good person. Anywas, Our problems that we deal with in first world countries can be really rough but they are dwarfed by comparison to the conditions people in third world countries deal with.

[/QUOTE] Yeah ok. What about our country we have starving children that do not get to have anything. We need to help ourselves first then go help them. Plus these commercials have been on for years really seems like the money is going towards somethinng else or we would see a change. Not the same commercial that has been on for years+- Please wait.
