The generosity of the American people is far more impressive than their government. Private aid/donation has been through charity of individual people and organizations though this of course can be weighted to certain interests and areas. Nonetheless, it is interesting to note for example, per latest estimates, Americans privately give at least $34 billion overseas-more than twice the US official foreign aid of $15 billion at that time:

International giving by US foundations: $1.5 billion per year
Charitable giving by US businesses: $2.8 billion annually
American NGOs: $6.6 billion in grants, goods and volunteers.
Religious overseas ministries: $3.4 billion, including health care, literacy training, relief and development.
US colleges scholarships to foreign students: $1.3 billion
Personal remittances from the US to developing countries: $18 billion in 2000
People that post things like that shows you rarely leave where ever you are, yet you are in san pedro everyday. When you have to point out how you have helped, then it was not help at all, just an expectation of return.

It must be cool to be able to gas 150,000 of your own people and have people still on your side when a good president ( GWB ) comes and kicks the shit out of you

Clover, still working on stats.

Chris I am proud of you too, a model citizen. I know your Contributions and Donations line on your Profit and Loss must be huge as your concrete convictions must force you to donate at least 10% of your profits to NA & AA and probalby even REMAR. I am also proud that you never drink more than the legal limit, 1 beer per hour, which would be just as illegal as smoking a joint. Good man! Hope it don't rain, you might drown.

Having spent more time working in Central Africa, Sub Sahara then I care to remember, SIN and JP, as with most by the way, don't have clue on the amounts of U.S. Gov. sponsored (paid) Aid and humanitarian support that goes into the region daily. Unfortunaly, alot in a futile attempt to make life a little better for the African people. Of course, no one mentions that the presence of EU nations in the region is 99% military. Purely protecting their own assets.

SIN, JP, all you know is what you see on CNN, again, like most. Also, all you know about the Belizean economy is what you see here in SPR. The rest of Belize "ain't so very good".

Myself, like the majority of Belizeans hope and welcome expanded U.S. presence in Belize.

I'm Belizean by the way.

SIN, I am leaving you with the last word. You're still a buddy.

I want to assure all board users that SIN talks a lot more sense in real life than on this board.
