Very well said. I love the line about privatizing American morality. I have spent time in both Uganda and Tanzania and have witnessed first hand the difference USAID made in those impoverished countries. I was once proud to be an American but am now ashamed at our inhumanity!
The entire world is interconnected and is interacting constantly through travel. Helping anyone in the world helps the entire world and also helps us. For example, I learned recently how much we helped India in the past, and thanks to that they now are a major source of many medications that our country and others benefit from and depend on.
It’s created by a man who was a diplomat and his mission is to bring us stories about how we are interconnected and how helping others helps us. My friend was on the show—former Peace Corps Volunteer.
