you have to be living in a poor country to know what does poor mean, the gap between poor countries and wealthier ones (mainly western) is so vast you can't imagine. something must be done, we can't sit back and talk about injustice. there was once a time when the wealthy knew that the poor are thier responsability, it's not the case now, we became increasingly selfish and greedy. it realy puzzels me when we talk about those corporations yet assist in them becoming wealthier. let's not loose our humanity in a time when it became so dificult to remain humane.
