Another, misconception mike. You'd be surprised how much money there is in countries where you think they'd have nothing. This summer I was in Istanbul, Turkey with a Canadian colleague. He was surprised to see such a modern city. I asked him whether he was expecting poverty to be all over the place, people with camels etc. He answered yes, that is what I was expecting.

Working in the medical field, I can tell you that you'll find equipment in clinics in those perceived poor countries that leave most western professionals mouthwatering.
