We took some time to think about what we were going to say- initially we were angry and frustrated at what we were seeing and hearing, but we tried to be as objective as possible and offer potential solutions- hence Hunger Porn #2.

Important that people recognize and understand the impact of blindly giving without thinking about the bigger picture. Crazy that there can be a downside to generosity....
