New Kitchen at Primary School

Yes, I walked the hillsides before they were invaded. They were beautiful. But now what washes down from them during the rains sickens a great part of us lowlying residents. The fact that you would try to compare my life to locals says more about you than my comments say about me. Sorry if the feel-good part of the post is lost on me. The cold fact that the beach in front of my home is currently labeled as the most polluted in the country and has warning signs placed on it warning off swimmers the week before one of the biggest vacation periods of the year doesn't leave me or many other locals feeling too good right now, and even less so about hillside communities partly responsible that shouldn't be there but only exist due to corrupt governments and even a little help from foreigners.

But I'm sure the children at the school will appreciate Judy Ann White's contribution at least for the day the politicians come to have their photos taken, though I'm skeptical about all the foodstuffs promised by the government actually being supplied since as far as I know they aren't supplied for other schools.

You'll just have to pardon me if I can't ignore our local reality.
