Volunteers! - damn you.

Are you even here?

Young volunteers - do you know, why you are here, or are you just having fun?

You are in the midst of a post teen-age rebellion. It will evaporate as everything else you touch. You are caught by your own ignorance.

Africa has become Latin America in 1980'es. We have nothing to offer, but the world will continue without us.

Another continent sees itself being abused by young Europeans for self-realisation. They will soon return home. Not very influenced by what they have seen. Maybe because they have not seen very much.

Perhaps it sounds hard and cynical, but the world does not change very much in a couple of decades.

We can as well call it by its name - cultural colonialism. There is no "post" about the colonialism I see in Africa today.
