I came across this blog today called Stuff Expat Aid Workers Like. The title is probably a joke on Stuff White People Like and talks about various humanitarian programs.
I've gotten skeptical about charities in the last six months or so. I've been reading things about them that bothers me and have made some observations about others that I find appalling. I was saddened, but not surprised, to read this tongue in cheek piece about how aid workers have to live away from the people who probably need the most help.
I find this entire thing so depressing. It makes me feel like even if I am compelled to do that right thing, by giving my time or money to an organization, it's being wasted.
