I had a friend, who went to Africa and loved it there. The weather, the beaches, even the people were nice.
There are lots of obvious problems, so he tried to help.
Not by distributing free food, but by trying to show them how to do stuff better and how they can easily help themselves.
He ran in concrete wall, nobody was willing to try anything!
Eventually, he gave up and went home.
