The article that you gave us to look at in your blog stated that “More than $500 billion in foreign aid—the equivalent of four Marshall Aid Plans—was pumped into Africa between 1960 and 1997” This number is outrageous especially when you notice that in 2004 the economic growth of Africa was only 5%. This money that is being sent over by the millions in order to “aid” Africa is not helping at all it is only making the rich people richer and the poor people poorer.
I believe that instead of sending all of this money in “Aid” over to Africa we should send people and leaders over to help reform Africa. Africans are receiving this aid and thus for example they are not providing their own means of textiles. Which is the most common industry of developing nations. I think that if we allow Africa to develop an infrastructure in order to become self sufficient we will help Africa out tremendously in the long run.
