[Pil-pc-oceania] BRIBERY overeseas Keith Stewart

[Keith Stewart]

Nothing matters but 'Our' people in our 30 villages in rural Bangladesh.

I found and used and raised GREAT funding that we used.

Every cent
Then the US$126,000 from Asian Development Bank was 'Ripped off"

Little actually reached our 30 villages in Bangladesh.

WHO CARES?
Out in YOUR WORLD?

But we did end up with some local fundig to extend our work.

What PISSES ME OFF is the people who live in Air Con houses in Dhaka with 
their US$12 per month young female sevsants who have the US$$ from overseas 
aid $$ to send their kids to Uni in Germany or the USA, Fist Class by air, 
of course.

I have a GREAT girl in one of our 30 villages who has finished our local 
High School and who speaks good, basic English.

I don't have the funds to send her to Dhaka to be trained as a basic nurse, 
d9o I?

>> Hey all,
>>
>> Thanks for the comments re sunchokes as invasive grass barriers (and
>> thanks to Jedd for the photos).  Along with our cover crop seed mix
>> (oats and about six legumes), we have so far planted a mix of comfrey,
>> daffodil, nasturtium, and myopurum (a native groundcover).  Will
>> perhaps tentatively experiment with sunchoke at the downhill base of
>> one section of swale and see how we go.  In this case they will be
>> planted a few metres down the mound away from the fruit and nut trees.
>> Thanks also Fern for suggesting daikon, horseradish, blue devil and
>> yam daisy - will try at least some of these.  Finally, as Graeme notes
>> lemon grass doesn't cope well with our winters.  Lomandra longifolia
>> seems a more suitable option.
>>
>> Sincere apologies for neglecting to delete the old posts on the end of
>> my last post, which was written and sent off in undue haste.  I am
>> aware how annoying this is.
>>
>> Best,
>> Dan
