Non government organisations would feel guilty for not using Esperanto to help in curbing the spread of Ebola ?
You may said this is a crazy topic. Yes, it is crazy and certainly, Esperanto is not a magic wand that can get all the blues away.
But if you are the member of any NGOs or the head of the NGOs, you should seriously be feeling ashamed of. Haven't you heard Prevention is better than Cure ?
Ebola is not a new word to the world. But the recent cases are in Liberia and other west African countries.
Look, wars and internal conflicts were very frequent in the past in these countries,they are very poor countries but because your NGOs did not respect the UNESCO 1985 resolutions by using Esperanto, they have to face the pressure of learning English and 25,000 of the students failed the university entrance English test in Liberia.
If they are using their mother tongue to learn the knowledge in the schools, they would be much better. If your NGOs respected the UNESCO resolution and used Esperanto from 1985, these young and bright souls would not have to suffer the pains of unable to enter university. It was not a small number, 25,000, read carefully.
Almost 30 years to this date, the world might be using Esperanto as the common language. Learning English needs 3200 hours for the non native speakers but learning Esperanto needs only a maximum 200 hours.
By doing so, more and more people are literates and they can change from the bad to good in many aspects, like cultures and beliefs.
How much of translation cost are in the United Nations and other world bodies ?
Can these large amounts of translation cost be helping the poor countries in the world ? Every representative is learning two languages, one is the nation language and the other is Esperanto. Bilingual children are better and this research is not new.
Can the women are empowered because they can learn Esperanto in a few months even though some cultures are not permitting the women to go to schools. Can they learn silently at home ?
Now, you and the world alike blame the people are not working together, especially the sick ones.
I believed you can imagine how difficult to be in this situation, translators are needed to help the medical professionals from other parts of the world to translate the conversations.
One more person in the hospital at this hour, it is one more risk on.
If the NGOs had used Esperanto since 1985, most of the patients can discuss the matters with the medical professionals directly from any parts of the world.
Now, if you are feeling ashamed and regrets whether by you or your past members, you should begin to tell your NGOs to use Esperanto.
It is never too late to begin. Late is better than never.
If you believe English language is going to save more people, perhaps, in future, you will run into the communication breakdown, certainly, I do not wish to make any cursing words. It would be too late for you during that moment like this Ebola case.
