Stacey is a 23 year old law student who spends more time practicing ballet and playing with her dog than she does studying. Maybe that’s why she’s in her 6th year of a 5 year degree. She has 6 sponsored children and wants a few more – just as soon as she finishes this degree and finally gets a job!
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.
