"Homeless", he cried back at them,
"am homeless" don't you understand me?
The USAID volunteer looked at Ahmed if truly he portrays what he's saying.
Homeless, he calls himself but his wrist is full of rings like the prince of Persia, every aspect of his body is adorned with one blinking object or the other, homeless is far from this people they thought.
Volunteers passed him by and entered deep into the city, down into the rural settlement and to there amazement none was found without a roof covering his head, funds have been provided in billions all across Africa to aid homeless children and eradicate hunger, is Africa actually poor or it's governments is?
Sitting down after the days work the USAID volunteer sat down to discuss this, luckily for them there cook who happens to be a black woman cuts in by telling them the poverty of Africa lies in his people's mentality not in acquisition of physical money, each and everyone has job he's doing to keep himself busy and it's a great offense not to have a job.
Then why are your government coming over at everytime to ask for funds ?
"The funds that you are providing for us never gets down here, they stack it in overseas, send there children there"
"all you're seeing are just pictures taken in a backward rural villages"

.

Two weeks after Maria the head of the volunteers has filled in her report to the agency sending copies all around international agencies, she was about to go out when a jeep suddenly packed right in front of her, hoodlums blancket her immediately asking her to go inside, she begged not to be raped, they replied that they came for something more serious than that.

Right inside the room, everyone was held hostage and Maria was subjected at gun point to fill in a new report of immense poverty in the land, though she was obstinate at first but several blow made her concur.
"Even your government want you to write this, they want to keep sending us money, you know why?
"why? " Maria was full of tears
"because that's how they always do" they gain the most out of this conspiracy.

Exceptional story... African reality!
It's a shame what we do to ourselves! A change of heart is all we need!

A change of heart is hard to come by this days o, life as we know it is experiencing a paradigm shift.
Men are turning to evil, the evil pays in cash than the good.

We don't give up on men though! We change lifes and think through information dissemination! Tell them what's wrong and what's right!

Unfortunately your story likely tells exactly what happens with much of the money donated to charities.
