... And somehow we've got to work to keep the talent 'within'.

Many, many of us here are the sons and daughters of migrants to other places, serving other countries and governments that collude to keep our brothers and sisters in a state of chaos.

It would be great if there were the real opportunites to serve our people in the place where the need is the greatest - in the heartlands, in the communities, at the grass-roots level in the homeland.

I agree, Tor Khana. I really think there's no point of our being educated if we're not going to use it to help those who need us so desperately. We love to complain about what's going on back home, but yet, we ourselves are so prosperous away from our land! It's *our* obligation and responsibility to use our means, skills, and knowledge that we obtain elsewhere to go back to our homeland and bring some constructive change there.
