A valid problem.

If it is that dire then the reality is that if you don't call, the children will die. But it's not awkward because you will never know if you don't use the service.

The third world only earns more if we buy services back.

If you feel bad that the family starves you can still pay more. But people understand PPP. Your life will be worse than theirs. You paid for chips while they had a real meal.
