My couple of trips to the region never ventured outside of the beaten path and while I knew other places existed and of their conditions it's a completely different realization to hear first hand accounts. <br /><br />Great post, and great idea.Nick Loveladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08559118263073230914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-77983323172885385752010-12-21T17:58:57.153-05:002010-12-21T17:58:57.153-05:00Perhaps we should add "If bureaucracy and pap...Perhaps we should add "If bureaucracy and paperwork were no object" to today's prompt then. :) But you're right - it seems like problems are best addressed where they actually exist by the people most closely involved. Too many cooks spoil the broth and whatnot.Chamoishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09658595962079138485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-62472179259471219012010-12-21T17:36:38.582-05:002010-12-21T17:36:38.582-05:00Ahhh would that it were so simple.

This has to be a situation where it's Bahamians helping themselves. The help from outside has to be gentle and distant.Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-66699508377338299802010-12-21T17:22:03.710-05:002010-12-21T17:22:03.710-05:00What an excellent proposition.

(And uncommon - I'll be honest, never before had I mentally combined the words "Bahamas" and "charity efforts") Sounds like they need more than textbooks - perhaps some scholarships for locals to attend college and become teachers? In the mean time, I don't think it would be hard to convince some American teachers to hop on a plane bound for the Caribbean and fill the position for a temporary term (until the locals return).Chamoishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09658595962079138485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-8648102886845638942010-12-21T14:35:15.788-05:002010-12-21T14:35:15.788-05:00Thanks Jerlyn, what's your country of origin?Thanks Jerlyn, what's your country of origin?Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-29491830487651762402010-12-21T14:05:57.480-05:002010-12-21T14:05:57.480-05:00Growing up in the Caribbean also I can relate.
