Pablo Escobar gives to charity, glatt?
Regardless of whether you approve of how he obtained his wealth, his ideas on how to help people are sound. Small amounts, directly to people in need, do much more good than millions to an impoverished nation thinking it will trickle down from the politician/leaders. It doesn't. This has been proven over and over with micro-loans and village projects. The problem is you have to have an army of on the ground people you can trust, to find truly needy people and give them what they need. A person with no potable water, doesn't need an electric blanket.
