Niger

I should certainly hope it is a reputable site. How could someone make money offa sumthin as serious as the food shortages there? Anywho, the world could easily donate billions to Africa. For example, NASA spends billions of dollars developing space technology. At least a portion of this money could be used for something alot more important-saving peoples lives. Sure-seeing the endless galaxies etc in space is fascinating, but when you see news pictures of the children starving in Niger, it sure makes you think.
