They were not surrounded by the garbage, human waste, and the shreds of rubbish. Your comment is ignorant and obviously highly misinformed. These people need our help, not a misguided "teach a man to fish" comment. You may teach a man to fish....but first he needs a fishing pole.

When Apollo 13\'s oxygen system failed, Mission Control gave their engineers that materials available to the astronauts, saying \"This is all they have: make a replacement.\" Perhaps the challenge should not be \"World, fund the purchase of devices,\" but \"World, here are the materials available to these people at risk: with only these materials, build them a water filtration system.\" Then we train them to be self-sufficient.My .02,-Adam Keck At the risk of triggering outcry, I think an alternative approach to this issue may work better.
