But you forget to mention about education. name is exist, but education itself? If we list the problem Bali has,it can take pages and pages.As a ex patriot living in Bali we can not ignore the facts many people suffering from health,education,economy. Water is the only one problem, what about if you get sick? Where will you go? Which doctor or hospital will take care of you if you don't have insurance or lots of money? Will doctor or hospital really take care of you even if you have insurance and money? :-/ Well said. But you forget to mention about education. name is exist, but education itself?

So, I'd suggest that imparting skills to the poor in these countries to meet these basic needs is a very meaningful action. Some ideas that nomads could consider depending on your budget: 1) Develop Local Ceramic Water Filter Industry ( http://www.wsp.org/UserFiles/file/926200724252_eap_cambodia_filter.pdf ) Cost: Probably at least a few thousand US$ at least to open a cottage industry there 2) Give a Ceramic water filter to villagers as a gift ( http://www.cascadedesigns.com/msr/water-treatment-and-hydration/expedition-water-treatment-and-hydration/miniworks-ex-microfilter/product ) The ceramic filter may be washed and used for many years before needing replacement. It produces a liter/minute. For survival, we need around 1.5-2 liters a day of portable water for drinking. Theoretical limit means this filter can provide safe drinking water for up to 960 persons (assuming 60 liters/hour x 24 hours = 1440 liters maximum production. 1440 liters / 1.5 liters per person= 960 persons). Cost: US$90 3) Teach them how to produce solar distiller using cheap bottles, copper pipes, etc. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXjMAItCMl0 ) Cost: a few dollars 4) Sponsor well-digging Cost: probably a few thousand US$ plus licensing paperwork 5) Teach them how to build a Village Composting Toilet ( http://www.worldchanging.com/archives/004988.html ) Cost: a few hundred US$ 6) Give them mosquito nets, tents, emergency food rations, water storage bags, blankets, etc, that may be used when earthquake or tsunami hits 7) Teach them how to preserve and can food that may be used during emergency such as natural disasters. 8) Learn sustainability skills and impart them to these people. ( http://www.whisperingseed.org/english/learningcenter.html ) These include how to build mud houses which are fire-proof.
