I agree. Besides, The girls going over there will not fix poverty. And second, it is not the only way to combat hunger. The men in their families need to do more.
They may help feed mouths that are hungry back home. Since early 1990s to this day, Somali women are the economic engine for families. It would not be the first time women worked to help their families. They are more caring when it comes to families. The men need to pull the weight, but today's Somalia, you have to be well connected to land a job anywhere in public sector. So men are limited.
Many men would sign up for the police and military if they get paid well and given professional training. But the money goes to Amisom while the potential recruits steal from the local market.
This trip might be better for the poor. If they fairly distribute the chance to travel among the needy Somali families, it might be helpful. I don't expect they will select these Somalis through lottery, but someone will benefit where they didn't before I hope.
I can criticize some poor Somali's choice for work from my comfort, but I remind myself I could be one of those Somalis getting an opportunity to do something for their families.
