Care packages from Africa arriving in Berlin How did this happen? Well, this charitable church group regularly sends medicine and other aid to Kenya. It also supports the unemployed here in Berlin. Unfortunately, it also occasionally sends some of its people to Africa, too. One of its organizers was recently visiting Kenya and, being a classic product of his environment, fell into bewailing the plight of German Hartz IV recipients (Hartz IV is an unemployment reform which brings together unemployment benefits and social security benefits and leaves them both at approximately the lower social security level = there are no longer enough employed Germans supporting the old system). The Kenyans, being a product of their environment, actually believed all of these colorful horror stories and began collecting for their German friends. And I think it only fair. We should always be willing to help those less fortunate than ourselves. Come visit me at Observing Hermann...
