I guess it's not that big of a deal as it's a one time shot of large time to find a good one and only a little monitoring there after to ensure it stays a good one but it's a hassle and I dislike how we can't trust each other anymore. PS: Susan Africa is a Continent, not a country that's why there's governments rather than government. I wish there were a good website to direct me to charities based on type and transparency.

I worked hard to bring the project back, the fishing project a long was earning the community US$ 900.000 annually and the beekeeping generating 10 ton of honey annually. realizing the income the project generating, the politicians grabbed the project from the community. The rich and the powerful people are not happy seeing the poor growing economically, and this is the trend of a culture in AFRICA. Too much talk is not gonna help either. The way forward is to have change in leadership, the young must lead if this is the only way that a change of heart can be realized in Africa.
