Mozambique Travel Journal – Thursday 27th Jan 2005 (Part 8)

After we left the classroom, Olga started talking to a female student who said she wanted to show us the swimming pool. She lead us to the second floor and through corridors and rooms, until we were on a balcony overlooking an enormous pool. It really was huge, with lanes marked in rope, and groups of children having relay races at the time. The girl said that the pool was for the use of students at the school and also youth who lived in the nearby community. The room was in great condition, as was the pool, and it was another positive thing to add to what I had witnessed at the high school.

Poverty. Famine. War. It's all around us, in the news, the papers and on every second documentary you see. But what is the real truth? Are things really as bad as we're told - or are they worse? And what really can be done? Some people think believe the only way to help is to donate money to large relief comporations, and let them decide where it is best spent. Others prefer a more personal approach - choosing which projects and causes to support. But are we really in a position to make such decisions? How do we determine who is needy and who isn't? Read about these issues and more from someone who is just as confused as the rest of us, but who is determined to find out.
