I think that the biggest challenge for westerners that try to 'help' the developing world, is to avoid addicting folks to stuff, but to foster Loving, instead, something that often developing countries are infinitely better at than we westerners. Loving CARES about the material needs of others, but only with the greatest care do we avoid turning material wellbeing into the God.
