Teach Them to Fish

Re “Planting a Seed of Self-Sufficiency,� July 5: It’s been said that if you give a man a fish, you’ll feed him for a day; if you teach a man how to fish, you’ll feed him for a lifetime. I hope the Group of 8, in its discussions of how billions will be spent in Africa, will also choose to support those who can teach the people to become self-sufficient.
