There have been aid programmes, particularly in Africa which sought to help people limit the mouths they had to feed . The Catholic church sent 'missionaries' out to the same regions immediately after to tell people that they would go to hell if they used birth control. Birth control is now 'soft peddled' out of political correctness. Today Marie Stopes International promotes sexual health and birth control in developing countries. I don't believe in foreign aid, but if we are going to spend money, this is how we should spend it.

Why not send condoms aswell as food and water? I have been clearing out my house in the last 2 months and have given a lot of unused clothes, toys and general household items to charities such as Julia's House and Cancer Research. There will never be a cure for cancer but at least the money can help to develop medicines to ease pain. The same as poverty- there will never be an end as the UK and USA are constantly reminding us that these countries are in so much "debt" that there will never be an end! Anyway- that's my frustration aired for the time being! XXX Hi JK,
