This "appropriate technology" stuff intrigues me. I met a lot of folk who were hooked on developing it when I lived in the UK. Some of them are walking the walk with NGOs in some of the same places the QPs hang out. I try to keep up with them and what they are doing.
A lot of the "worker bees" in the NGOs are good people doing genuinely useful humanitarian labors. Now if something could only be done about the politics of their bosses and mouthpieces. My .02 - Peregrino
