Yeah but we don't intend programs to bring people together, that's not what they're for.
That's essentially my point. Solving problems of this nature requires communities to be closer-knit. I think it's foolish to expect anything more than band-aid treatment on the part of a program. That's not to say it doesn't have a place and a role, but that role is not in solving problems.
but charity doesn't do that.
If it doesn't than nothing can, as I see it. I mean, we're talking about interpersonal charity (self-sacrificing love of neighbor, without any intermediaries). If that doesn't do it, I can't think of anything else that substitute.
