Self Reflections: What's My Role?
Thursday, April 10, 2003
- How does my vote and my voice affect developing countries?
- How is it that historically beleaguered Nicaraguan friends are so much less anxious about life despite the uncertainty of the harvest, the increasing water prices, and the six-hour trip by foot to birth a baby?
- Phones and email keep us more in touch than ever. Why, then, do many of us feel more isolated than ever?
- Who sells Fair Trade Coffee in my community?
- Why is it that folks in León aren't carrying around signs that say "US ... think about why the world hates you?" Could PML have something to do with that?
- Where are the US leaders who promote listening and relationship building in international affairs?
- Why do some Nicaraguans consider privatization of lights and water "The New Columbus?"
