Why does the west spend so much money and attention on poverty in Africa when the facts are not in their favor? There is 900 million Indians living below the poverty line, 300 million Chinese also, not to mention other Asian countries like Afghanistan, Myanmar etc. Compare that with Africa which has 400 million people living below the poverty line. Now i understand Africa is a continent and not a country, but lets take that into consideration. If Africa was to be a country it would have the 18th largest economy. More reason not to be entirely focused on that place. Am not trying to be racist or anything, i do appreciate that Africa does need help and we should do what we can but since Asia has more poor people (hell we have half the worlds population here) then why is it that so much attention and money spent on Africa instead of Asia?

Why don't you help them yourself? Why don't you help me? I could use your money.

I think we should take of ourselves first then others. But the real answer to your question is the all powerfull POLITICS! If we took care of ourselves first then we would be stronger to go out and help others. That may sound self centered but then I am not starting and fighting wars. I don't really understand why the fighting and killing is necessary anyway. And yes I do live in fantasy land!

There's your answer, go out and do your part. go where you can do the most good. We all have specials things we are to do while we are on this earth. Ive adopted from India, I'M doing foster care now.If we all did our part this would be a better world to live in. Life is allot better when you can give of yourself. People have to help people. We need to keep our government out of it. We can do more good with people like you who really sees the needs of others! Good luck!
