Just to make it clear, I DID NOT write the book review that heads this page. Marian Drops did!

Hi ladies,

I was reading this entry and went to the link you provided for GoGoGrandmothers, but it doesn’t look like it’s the right link. It takes us to something called theresourcecenter.us.

Hopefully someone can double check this?

Thanks for all you do.

Elaine

When I first adapted the idea that became SEEDS, I wanted to “take over” a village and build a school, build a church, drill a well, plant trees, send clothes, send school supplies, buy a cow. I’m so glad we started small and were given the time to learn before doing any damage! This book, When Helping Hurts, has really opened my eyes to the danger of helping without first understanding.

Sometimes the best gift isn’t the most tangible. Sometimes it’s money for training a local woman how to market her crop; sometimes it’s helping the people concerned to discover their own talents and abilities; sometimes it is funding a building, but making sure we’re simply helping the local people build what they want, rather than doing it all ourselves.
