After all these years of pondering what exactly is our problem, I've been very much convinced that it has nothing to do with the lack of education, we're NOT an idiot society, nor are we starving like the Africans that you see on TV with flies and bloated bellies. It is a reflection of who we are and what we believe and the culture that has shaped us. Let us be honest if I were in Nepal and if I had my hand on those funds and charity, I will gladly do that same like everybody i.e pocket the money. Here's the mentality "Who cares? I've kids to feed and some more houses to add to impress my neighbor"
Our culture that we all love so much never goes beyond "MY(I only care about my family)" and "I". There is no "WE". So until we change it to say "WE", it does NOT matter how educated, smart or sophisticated our brain/lifestyle become, we'll never get over the problem. No society is perfect, ours is not even on the list to be compared with the rest of the world. I look at myself and like everybody here I'm proud to say that "I come form a descent family". Well as I'm getting golder I'm realizing the word "descent" is very deceptive in terms of our belief. There are many rudimentary flaws that my parents and the society taught me, simple put, I'm selfish, greedy and given a chance, I'll NOT care about any others and pocket it if given the slightest chance. In short we need to make some changes in our culture, beliefs and faith to improve the hygiene and most of all, those needs to be passed on to our kids. That $10 millions is gone up in the smoke, trickled down to few dollars when it reaches the destination.
Just my 2 cents.
