Yeah, but how much is a plastic camera going to do?  Sure, I paid my $24 for
two great looking photographs, and got to feel the warm fuzzy feeling of
shared global humanitarian consciousness, but do I think for a second that
sending 55 cameras to these kids is going to amount to anything resembling
substantial change or improvement?  Sorry, no.  I suspect that ultimately --
and probably within the not too distant future -- they'll simply become part
of the trash heap that these kids have to live in.
