I somehow agree that religion does good things especially like in this scenario; I think it gives these people hope when theres really nothing material to base it on. I guess aid with a religious connection boosts the effect too.

Corruption really somehow makes it harder when giving aid to such places. I remember one time there was this disaster on some asian country and people donated clothes to them. But what happened was this huge bulk of donations was intercepted and instead of being given to the victims ended up being sold in the city as bargains. Sometimes I think it really is better to just deliver it yourself if possible.

Ive never actually seen it before work but it is possible to get internet using a dish right?

Well, I just think that at the end of it all if you and your team feel that youve accomplished what you came there to do then thats what matters.

I think the irrigation project can really help. Not just to get them some clean water but maybe allow them to do more in terms of agriculture to feed them.
