I remember reading somewhere that more money is sent back to Africa from African expats living abroad than any foreign aid...but that isn't information you'll easily come across in the mainstream media.
That is said to be the same for the caribbean too. caribbeans abroad do more than any aid ever did. so true. plus I would like to know where this aid to africa goes when the tv cams is not rolling


Think outside of the box...Think in spirit

Act as if it were impossible to fail!!!

Newbies do not be shy - it's good to talk debate conversate.
