Tales from the Missionary Hut: Africack

worldwrite
Nothing is wasted at the London-based charity Africack which collects bodily waste from across London and ships it out to Africa for use as an organic, environmentally friendly fertiliser. From Africack's East London collection point and processing centre, we learn how our own pooh can save the world. Next time you visit the loo, spare a thought for the needy and contact your local Africack centre.

    • Satire at its best! I cannot imagine anyone can withstand the strong urge to shake their heads in incomprehension at this approach of ‘help’. However, the fact that this segment has actually been done, points to the sad part of this matter. WORLDwrite’s spoofs are exaggerated but they are based on truth. In fact, they are made to ridicule reality to bring to light the ugliness that lies beneath.
      Poo for the poor. Our waste is their wealth. Wow. Now isn’t that incredibly condescending? Our shit is Africa’s beacon of hope? Oh please. This concept makes a few rather narrow minded British people feel better about themselves, and a lot of Africans quite literally see what the West thinks of them.
      The West really has to rethink its approaches. And its motives. Do you want to show off hypocritical benevolence and hold on to false good deeds? If you do, well, go ahead and give your poo. Do you really want to help? Because, after all, we are all the same - no matter where we are born. Then stop having this degrading attitude and give the Africans something they can really use for development, like machines that to the efficiency of agricultural production.
