Mozambique Travel Journal – Wednesday 26th Jan 2005 (Part 1)

by

We packed up our bags and suitcases and brought them all downstairs. My luggage felt a lot lighter and much easier to pack, even though the only things that were gone were the presents (most of them anyway) and the chocolates and most of the muesli bars. I also decided to leave my pillow at the Lodge, since it was really gross having it in the bed with all the bugs. We had breakfast, our last breakfast at the Lodge, and we were picked up by World Vision. It was raining, the first rain I have seen since we’ve been here. I expected a lot of rain, since it is the wet season here in Mozambique, but so far its only rained the once.

About Global Poverty Monitor

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.
