Do you believe that those who are dedicated to "saving" Africa do it because they genuinely care about the continent's welfare? Or do they want to "save" Africa in order to promote an image of themselves as a charitable humanitarian?

Do you think that "saving" Africa is a good idea? Or do you agree with the idea that portraying Africa as a helpless region in need of a savior is actually causing damage?

I found this article really interesting. I agree with what it is trying to say. My favorite piece of information found was that "students were surprisingly reluctant to trade a coffee mug they had been given for a bar of chocolate, even though they did not prefer coffee mugs to chocolate when given a straight choice between the two." I am more fond of chocolate than I am of coffee mugs, but I also would not trade the mug for the chocolate! I suppose it is more important to me to have whatever is most valuable in the monetary sense.
