I remembered a story I heard in my Marketing class, about how Gerber had problems selling their product in Africa. They used the same packaging as they did in the US, with the baby on the label. Later, they learned that in Africa companies routinely put pictures of the ingredients on the label, since many people can’t read.

Imagine...after all the money “dumped there” for all the essentials ...and basic education is not present....gives new meaning to a dark hole...or moneypit. I am well aware the people in control kept the cash and let the peons stay submissive because of the blocking of knowledge....”a mind is a terrible thing to waste?”...wasn’t that the slogan to get donations on top of our government blocks of cash?
