I think for Maputo it's $187 per day.

What surely can one do with that 100 USD a day stipend? This business of saving the millions of Africans living on less than a dollar a day is such a thankless pursuit. Only heroes like our friend here, Individuals blessed with a great spirit of volunteerism can get that work done."

And somebody must have been wearing khaki shorts, birkenstocks or Jesus sandals! It's like they all shop in the same store--in the 'safari' section of course-- before travelling to Kenya. The Canadian chic must have been smoking some strong stuff to swallow that corny line. The idea that "intelligence can be sexually transmitted" is hilarious. Just had to mention it though Betty beat me to it.Girl next doorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786858603160127087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21441013.post-31768385889069414602007-04-06T07:47:00.000+03:002007-04-06T07:47:00.000+03:00Potash....Dont let them rush you...still potent......Potash....Dont let them rush you...still potent...Tell Jim i said hi and he can keep my name...am doing fine with his...lolN.
