I've been thinking about the countless organizations and aid agencies that find their way in third world countries with their glorious agendas in saving us from what not.
well.....
I'm asking them and you,where are they and what are they doing and how effective are they?
Cyclone Sidr that has ravaged Bangladesh affecting 1 million people rendering them homeless and without food and water for 5 days.The death toll from its initial number of 2000 has risen to 3100 according to the BBC news on their website

..and it is expected to go higher as countless are still missing.I understand as a sovereign nation we have our own responsibilities,but we are doing the best we can,given our incompetencies.However,how are priorities set by the international community,when calamaties such as this happen to a country like Bangladesh.

I also wonder how the better-off few people of Bangladesh set their own priorities to help their own?How is it that they take the initiative?

What I'm trying to say is this,why do I even have to raise these questions.Why am I not properly informed on how I can help?There are so many expats and so many so called "elite-few" who could come together to provide any little help they can with the available resources at their disposable.How long are we going to be so damn dependent on international aid?How high is the death toll going to rise in the aftermath of the cyclone?Its more grievous that the deaths during the cyclone itself.
