- excerpt -

'We would go into a community, "study" it, come up with a diagnostic of what is wrong, and then tell the people what they needed to do to fix their community. Obviously, there are examples of development programs that are less "damaging" than others, but I could never get over the basic fact that we were offering alternatives to a community that we ourselves didn´t implement or put into practice. We could tell a small community to come together to build a root cellar to save their potato harvest for longer periods of time so as to get a price at the market, but then we went home, opened our refrigerators, and bought potatoes at the supermarket. It really is ridiculous if you step away and view that reality from a distance.' -- Tobias Roberts
