Gipsy,
sorry to correct you but, I was not thinking of giving the money to the corrupt governments. I was thinking of it being managed by a "more active and meaningful UN", to provide these children with access to education and a more dignifying life, so they could contribute to the progress of they own countries, once they grow up.

As for the keeping the green grass in the desert, do you have an idea of how much does it cost to keep a square feet of green grass in countries like Qatar and UAE?
Not to mention how damaging it is for the environment to produce that water in these countries, putting them on the top of the CO2 producers List...

The planet provides enough resources to allow all to live with dignity, the unbalanced distribution of those resources causes the disgraces we see... that is why I question if a global management of the world resources wouldn’t be more fare?!
