@ICDInternational - thanks again for your response. What you say sounds great. I'm just going on what I'm seeing in the videos charity: water is producing. It would be great to hear directly from the people who are affected by the issues you're working with. Not hearing from them gives the impression they haven't got anything useful to say. In my experience (and yours, by the sound of it), that's as far from the case as it's possible to get.

Well again @trentinoten I'm not sure you're getting all the details & background before passing judgment. "We're" not the ones "solving" the water problem...the Africans are. What "we're" doing is coming along side of them. If you knew the people involved, took the time to ask your VERY legitimate questions, you'd find that this group of ICDI Central African's (104 African men & women committing to changing their world) are the ones driving this effort. It's truly a symbiotic relationship.

@ICDInternational - thanks for the response. I appreciate it. I see charity:water has just released a longer film though, which, I'm afraid, rather backs up my suspicions. Do you recognise that just maybe you're solving one immediate problem (water) and making a much bigger, long term problem (the way we see people different from ourselves) worse?

[ICDInternational]

Actually the local people have a tremendous amount to say and participate heavily in the efforts this 'white man' contributes. Check out for instance what the Central African Water Program Director that works alongside this guy has to say in a YouTube video (just search for "ICDI"). Besides, the video you are commenting on is only an intro. There is much more to come over the next few weeks. I think you judge too quickly.

i have an idea. what if we get the things for farming for people in poor countries. build conels and dig for wells. once the farm gets started the people can make food for them selves and sell there food. in wich makes there bellys full and has the money to make there other familys bellys full

[trentinoten]

@crazyoneinall - I think you missed something. @bodaidan - I didn't say he can't care. But why are we *only* hearing from the outsiders who go in and "save" the locals? Don't they have something interesting to add, too?
