I discovered your newsletter because a friend from Brazil shared this particular article, translated to Portuguese, on his facebook. I really enjoyed the sober tone of your comments about USAID funding, very refreshing compared to the outrage-first commentary all around. It may be outrageous because of the method, the messaging, and the communities served with the cosmetic part of USAID action. So was a lot of stuff they didn't particularly care about. Repeating it as opening paragraph of every single tought on it doesn't add much at this point. It's more productive to step back and observe the "silent part said out loud", that you highlighted.
