There’s a significant emotional and mental difference between giving $100 to buy mosquito nets and directly helping resolve a topical conflict within a tribe you’re a part of. A lot of effort (on both sides) goes into bridging that gap.

So yes, absolutely do the good things you can at a distance. But also don’t be disappointed when that doesn’t make you feel better.

(And yes, I wasn’t very clear about that in my original point. Good job and thank you for making+helping me clarify)
