Kenya Offers Aid to Third World Germany

[AGENDA21]

After hearing about the poverty-stricken victims of harsh social and labor market reforms in Germany, volunteers from a Kenyan hospital are flying in aid in the form of tea and coffee to help ease the suffering.

Germany, a country with such a bad self-image that it needed a 30-million-euro ($25-million) advertising campaign to convince the populace to be proud of their nation, could take another nosedive into collective depression when news gets out that volunteers from the 26th poorest nation on earth feel the need to send aid to help disadvantaged Germans.

The view from Kenya is that a section of German society is apparently so in need of relief that employees at the Tawfiq Hospital in Malindi vowed to help.

Now, those poor Germans who are feeling the chill of the German winter and the bite of the detested Hartz IV social and labor reforms are getting daily handouts of tea and coffee through a Kenyan charity based in the German capital.
