To me, it points back to colonialism.
Shouldn't we build a work and then leave?

In many areas we (meaning the UPC) are able to do just that. It's done with a lot of prior financial support as well as other kinds of support to build the infrastructure.
But the problem is in many areas of the third world nation it's hard or impossible to do just that in a short period of time.
And in Sis Alvears case, she is not connected to an organization. She get's little financial help, let alone other helps, so that process is going to be painfully slow
But even then, what should a person do who has a calling to a third world nation? Not go because we should just leave?
Why not pull out of many US cities and allow the people who live there take over?
