Developing One's Brother: Good Intentions, Unnatural Practices Ken Kampe

This volume explores the concept and practice of "development", of people, not property...particularly development funded by foreign aid - your taxes assessed by the government, your contributions to charitable organizations - directed at developing your brothers and sisters in the poorer parts of the world. Where does the money go? And why does it go there? It is an exploration of the dark side of development. Like the other non-bright side of the moon that we never see. Witness the frailties, the hypocrisies of the organizations "helping" the poor. Caution: This volume may read like fiction, but it is not. It is that truth on the other unseen side. It may appear tongue-in-cheek, but it is sadly, albeit humorously, serious. The humor is inherent in the practice. The bitter taste it may leave in your mouth is that of a tongue bitten by teeth attempting to grin and bear it.
