on a day when we continue to question whether there is political corruption in ours. Every now and then Sue's Blog hears from a unique visitor - who demonstrates the good the "age of the internet" has brought.
This wonderful ability to reach out globally and share ideas - culture - information - and good will.
It is therefore most timely that I received the following message yesterday.
We all know where the money went Sue- right into the pocket of the politicians of India. Corruption has become the norm in India now. That is why we have started www.purdafash.com to fight back. Please let me know in case you want to help us out
Regards,
Areeb
The money he is referring to is explained in a story covered by Sue's Blog in February called "SNC Lavalin and India caught up in corruption scandal"
When people from democracies speak up and work together - corporate and political corruption can be curtailed and sometimes even avoided. The company discussed in the India affair is SNC Lavelin - a company that may have future potential work on the Lower Churchill.
Why not visit Areeb at the purdafash blog or the purdafash site.

Sue all one has to do is read some of the Watchdog Agencies News Letters, such as Probe International or Transparency International, your eyes will be opened wide as to what goes on in this world.
For instance monies donated to countries for disaster programs, which as far as we are concerned and are told are donated to ward off starvation or help rebuild countries after a disaster hits, end up in the hands of Non-governmental Agencies or big corporations and don't end up to where we thought the monies were going.
We are living in a world that is made non-transparent by governments and because of the opaque nature of the dealings of governments, we are duped into believing something to be true that is not true. In other words most of the monies that are supposedly donated by governments in 'to underdeveloped countries in needy situations' end up in the pockets of the non-governmental agencies and large Corporations. There is no accountablity anywhere within governments.
