Yes, yes --your usual practice of praising everyone without
reservation or concession.  You see?  I've already grown inured to
hearing all this praise.  To give praise is like carving a bas-relief:
you must make use of shadow to show the light.

No, I've never heard of that project; it's difficult to 'hear about'
much of anything here --I'll look up the project as you mention it on
the internet.

The project I may or may not become a part of is the most direct form
of development assistance: feeding malnourished children.
