Making Poverty History

As you know, I am going to be distributing some grain aid in the north of Burkina in the weeks to come, but even as I do this, I am aware there are deeper structural problems which need to be urgently addressed if any significant dent is to be made on poverty.

I was going to post some comments about the excellent 'Making Poverty History' initiative, and then I saw that my freind Keith Smith has already done it in this article New Years Revolutions and Keith says it all much better than I would have done.
