Wiliam Easterly's "The White Man's Burden" is that great book that has helped me identify the fact that money is not the answer. There are a lot of other things that we need to keep in mind when trying to help underserved communities. We need to keep in mind that we are not better people, or superior beings to them. I am not a better person or a superior person to my peer in El Salvador. I am were I am because I have had more opportunities than others, I know I'm not smarter or better. Just simply had more doors to walk through.
