At the Me 2 We event, Nelly Furtado donated $1 million to build a school in Kenya. But what she didn't tell all those people at Me 2 We was where she got it from. Furtado got it from the Gaddafi family in 2007, for performing a 45 minute private party show in Italy. I believe that she should give it back to the people of Libya, because it's originally their money, which Gaddafi probably stole. Yes, Kenya is known for being a poor country but if you compare them to (present day) Libya, there is a big difference. It makes Kenya look like one of the wealthy countries in comparison. We cannot deny that the people of Libya need money to help rebuild their community.
With all the recent bombing attacks on poor innocent people and the destruction of communities and the ongoing civil unrest, Libya is in extreme need of money for many reasons like; food, clothing, shelter and schools. However, with all of the chaos, Nelly Furtado should put the $1 million in a Trust fund and then give it back to Libya when it's more stabilized, than giving it back now. So this is what I think Nelly Furtado should do with the $1 million.
I like your point of view, and how you expanded on it. Its has very deep points explaining the poverty in Libya such as in paragraph one you stated "Yes, Kenya is known for being a poor country, but if you compare them to present day Libya, there is a big difference". You made your statement even larger, by comparing it to other countries. Keep up the good work :)
