Not the same, sorry. I never said “they couldn’t have afforded it.” I showed how much one part of the journey cost, which makes it unlikely they could have afforded it. You propose that donors to a program that was set up for education would have contributed an additional amount so that the wife of a student could fly to Africa and back. I ask why they would do that, rather than use the same contribution to send an another student to the US.

Oh, c’mon and fess up. You are just splitting hairs. You are GUESSING they couldn’t afford it. I am GUESSING how they could.

Plus, if you spend $100, and get back $98 from the government, you have plenty of money to help other students.

Where, you will spend $98, and get back about $95 and change.

Looks like you implied the same thing.
