OMG this is what i've been saying for years. What these people see as aid is just their way of attempting to bring others up to their level. Most of these places we're doing fine before westerners came in and tried to help. They really weren't helping at all, they just introduced more problems that didn't exist before.
The thought in many of these communities is that one must have lots of children too have a better chance of one surviving to carry the family on. But people have come in with their vaccines and food and now the population has blown up because the people are still breeding like crazy not realizing that they no longer need to do that in order to keep their family going.
There is also the introduction of useless technologies into these areas. Even MTV noticed this problem where they showed a girl living in a shack made of trash, BUT SHE HAS A CELLPHONE.
These countries are only third world countries because we compare them to first world countries. What ever was working for them before will work for them now, we just need to allow them to progress on their own instead of going in and trying to speed up the process.
