'Sios with Suas' sez Wag, 'They're just neo-liberal apologists with their heads suas their asses' An investigation into greenwash, the World Bank and charity. Suas are a newly arrived charity operating out of several Irish universities and sending volunteers to work in schools in India. Within two years they aim to have 20 groups in third level institutions around the country, and 7,000 members.
So far, so what? Well a while ago they were running their big publicity campaign to get overseas volunteers for the summer of 2005, and if you saw their green glossy posters decorating some colleges you might have noticed the words 'World Bank' on them.
Part of the volunteer program includes 'development education' given by World Bank personnel.
This is a two part exploration. Firstly here is a backgrounder on the social causes of world hunger and on the devastating policies of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. Secondly here is an investigation into
the Suas 'development education' course and the whole issue of World Bank window dressing.
