If you don't feel angry, you are not human.

Do you feel angry when you read this info ?

There’s a very practical reason to adopt Esperanto. Currently we waste a lot of resources pretending English is an adequate medium of international communication and in translation. Let me give you one example. In 1975 the World Health Organization denied the following requests:

• $ 148,200 to improve the health service in Bangladesh
• $ 83,000 to fight leprosy in Burma
• 50 cents per patient to cure trachoma, which causes blindness.
• $ 26,000 to improve hygiene in the Dominican Republic

All those requests denied. It seems the World Health Organization didn’t have much money. But that same year they approved Arabic and Chinese as working languages requiring lots of translations and increasing the expenses of the WHO by $ 5,000,000 per year. That’s right, 5 million dollars per year spent on translation when they couldn’t give 50 cents to cure trachoma.

I think those languages that are used in the international organisations like UN. WHO etc, the country of that particular langguages should bear all the costs of translation but not the other member countries.

Please share with us more data of these sorts of evil doing things.
