Is the land not fertile, at least? They can't take advantage of the sunshine, and produce food and textile etc? I understand they're poor in money and currency, but it appears they're barely scraping together the basics. I feel badly for people, when I see them not doing well, especially when I know so much better is possible. It makes me wish I could help, even if it's just doing what I can from where I am to make the world a better place.
