Of false alarms and helping hands

Turned out to be a friend of mine pulling my leg. Where's the damn annoyed smiley? Hold up. Can't find it but i found the italic icon( smiles). Love italics. Wanted to talk about this whole idea of twinning.

You know, when 2 countries, one rich, another poor get together for mutual benefit? Okay, mostly for ours but they too benefit in terms of new ideas, sight seeing (in the case of exchange programmes), aclimatising, new environments, cultures and people.

I was just wondering; if a far off country like Sweden could put us on their budget through projects like CIDA and Redcross, how come we can't do it for each other? am talking about better off countries in Africa helping the not so well off ones to develope. it doesn't even matter in what sector: it could be the music industry, the education sector, whatever and wherever.

The point is to provide the opportunity for us to learn from each other, not be so stingy with our own little developments. And since we are talking along those lines, lets make it more local , say, a town in Central Uganda twinning with one up North. I don't know if am making much sense but I feel like it would really make the world a little better.
