Donations

If my country made good use of its resources, we would be all doing great.

As things are, we have one of the richest countries in the planet, oil, gas, minerals, woods, water, grasslands, etc., etc., etc., we basically have already any resource you could mention.

BUT we end up having one of the poorest people in the Americas, often running neck-to-neck with Haiti as the one with the worst economic indicators. Nowadays some of those indicators "seem" to look better, thanks to huge gas exports, but, remember, that influx of money takes its while to reach the common people, as it is mostly handled by international companies, and the government - and will now be much less, as international energy prices fall.

I am convinced that the goal of an education project in Bolivia that uses computers is not to produce more engineers, lawyers, artists, not even to merely produce better ones of those, because, at best, at the end we just will be exporting the brightest of them to the North - which is only fair, as we so far fail to assure honest opportunities where effort entails success. The goal has to be to achieve a change in the parameters of relationships, where honesty in handling resources and relating to others is paramount and becomes a normal way of doing things. To achieve that, we need transparency in handling funds and materials.

Though I can always wish, I do not expect to be handling many millions, at least not soon. Meanwhile I can make sure that what little money we get is carefully and publicly accounted for. Doing my best that what is given to my people gets to my people, and is used as wisely as I can make it happen.
