Where specifically in Africa is Plumbing really needed?
I’m in my first year in college majoring in Plumbing and I feel led to go to a third world country (Africa pops in my mind). I want to use my skills to really help people that are in dire need of clean water and clean sanitation. I want to help prevent deadly toxins in these areas and increase the chances of survival for people over there.
I know it’s going to be a bad living, but I really don’t care. America has enough Plumbing and the people aren’t dying because their bathrooms are leaking. I want to die knowing that I helped people survive, not caring about how much money I made. I know it sounds crazy but money, although very important, isn’t that big of a deal with me.
Also, do you know of any organizations that do these things?
Thanks!

In The Wild: What about diseases?
So, I’ve recently been thinking a bit about those tribes of people who you often see living in the wilderness of say, Africa, or in some rain forest secluded from civilization. Do they get diseases? Are they often life-threatening? Have the people grown a tolerance to the diseases, like animals, I guess? If I were to go there and live with them, would the symptoms of a disease specific to that general area be more severe in the case of my catching one? If they were to come here and catch a common cold, would the symptoms be life-threatening for them?
What about those people who wish to live in the wilderness, given they have the survival skills required so that they can live? How would they be able to avoid diseases? Would they just develop a tolerance to any disease around there? Is that possible? Do you think they could survive? I know there are TV shows about living in the wilderness. I haven’t watched many, yet, though and I probably should to get more of a feel for it. Maybe I should go camping.
I’ve always wanted to kind of escape society. The African Wilderness has always attracted me, or the wilderness in general. I really like the idea of a very natural life. I think we, in this society, are overly materialistic and so out of touch with our selves as humans; as animals. I just want to experience it, you know? But there are so many things that really prevent us from doing it. Like diseases. We’d probably die if we got one out there, right?
Maybe I should be one of those African Safari people who study the biodiversity/ecosystem of the wilderness and stuff, so I can get in touch with nature. God, I don’t know what I want to do.
But yeah, back to the question. What about diseases?

Is MAN basically GOOD or EVIL?
If a child in africa dies every 7 minutes from simple diseases that would cost the developed world 1 dollar to cure, when millions die from hunger when more food is wasted in the USA per DAY than is actually consumed in all of AFRICA in a week, how can we claim that we are good people?
