Donations

If my country made good use of it 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., whe basically got 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 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.

I am convinced that the goal of this project in Bolivia is not to produce more engineers, lawyers, artists, not even to merely produce better ones, because at best at the end we just will be exporting the brightest of them to the North. The goal has to be to achieve a change in the parameters of relationships, where honesty in handling resources is paramount and becomes a normal way of doing things. To achieve that, we need transparency in handling funds and materials.

I do not expect to be handling many millions, at least not soon, though I can always wish, but at least I can make sure that what we get as long as I am in charge, especially what is given to us, is carefully and publicly accounted for, and myself 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.
