First of all, ignoring the idea that charity begins at home, a dollar goes a lot further in some places than it does in the U.S.

Putting aside the fact that the less a person has, the easier it is to improve their quality of life, you'll get a lot more bang for your buck abroad... that includes construction costs, staff and teacher salaries, any nutrition programs, uniform costs, etc.

I'd bet that $40 milliion is doing a lot more good where it is than it could have in the U.S.

Not that I don't wish some of it would drift my way...
