Kampala, Uganda

Kampala, Uganda: "I shall not use two words I hate, "charity" and "compassion," as they are both meaningless, as they will help people get some food for a few days or pacify miserable souls for a few hours. Then, everyone will go back to their homes, and "bye-bye." And those staying will have to manage, somehow. No way: We must work hard to create job opportunities for them in their own countries, and this can be done in many ways. Doctors aside -- who are the primary requirement and that, besides curing patients, could train new doctors and nurses -- we may set up workshops and start producing there and not just in far east countries, and then we could go and teach there because culture is the main instrument to get away from ignorance and poverty."
