Hey, thanks! Yes, I was quite proud of this post, even if it didn’t get a payout as high as some of my others.

Ha! We have a rule of thumb in public health, if you have to google the definition of Child Labour then there is probably an issue with your intervention!

Yes in theory it’s a nice idea but that’s where this story should have ended. Someone should have sat down with a pen and pencil and done the maths or perhaps listen to the local communities and ask them what they wanted/needed. I always say that this is a story that teaches us to be skeptical, but we have to then do the hard work of not becoming cynical because of it, it’s a hard line to walk sometimes.
