I know Venezuelans and they are angry at their government's failures to solve the problem and the US interference.

The world is in suffering-some have it worse than others no doubt. <br /><br />I applaud the work that you do, and would love to read anything you publish surrounding your travel and research.

There are so many conflict zones, people suffering, especially children and women, and MANY of the problems can be tracked back to the actions of the US/UK government! How ignorant and arrogant we are!!

Whenever the world focuses on the latest outrage (as indeed they must), I cannot help but think of Zimbabwe, a country I personally know that has been living with ongoing outrage for decades. I also have students from many parts of the world who remind me of the suffering in their countries, the only reason we don't know about it being that it is no longer new news and gets relegated to the yesterday's or last century pile. I am looking forward to reading your account of Malawi. I'm sure it will strike a few chords with me.Vallypeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309284606572565277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251035797708672975.post-10808541634418682822017-06-19T00:44:16.695-10:002017-06-19T00:44:16.695-10:00I couldn't agree with you more.
