Eliminating Poverty in Mozambique, Africa

[dmdar]

Hey, I was just on YouTube watching videos about Heidi Baker's ministry. She is a missionary to Mozambique, Africa, the poorest country in the world. She visits Life Center Ministries in Harrisburg, PA fairly often.

An idea just came to me as to how to eliminate poverty in the country! Mozambique is a very poor country but possesses great natural beauty and natural wealth, they have beautiful beaches, coral reefs and marine wildlife and also have national parks full of animals such as lions, elephants, hyenas, rhinos, zebras, hippos, you name it. There are many wealthy people in the world that love African safaris, with a fairly large infusion of cash I think they could launch a tourism industry there! It just might work!

They could build exclusive luxury resorts in the country and wealthy people would fly in from all over the world to see the animals and spend lots of money while they are there! I have heard stories of African safaris and apparently they are very expensive but if you manage to go you will have the time of your life!

Greetings dmdar,

They could build exclusive luxury resorts in the country and wealthy people would fly in from all over the world to see the animals and spend lots of money while they are there!

An interesting suggestion, but how much would this flow through to a normal person in their village. I was reading an article about a similar country in Africa. There were a number of subjects of religious instruction during a conference of village people, but part of the conference included a day where the attendees were given instruction on arable farming. This included choosing robust crops which suit the environment and be less susceptible to extremes of weather. Remarkably, the translator turned out to be a teacher at an agricultural college and he was able to support and add to what was said. This included natural ways of repelling pests.

Kind regards
Trevor
