I like to know what the real needs are that real Nomads identify. It is important for me to move my energy in a positive way in the world. I am also aware that there are scam artists and others who would take advantage of the generosity of the Nomads. It is a dillema. I am interested in hearing about projects that are supported by Nomads. I am not interested in an open request for help. There is simply too much need.

A year or so ago I posted on the subject of small business loans, something that has become very popular in the world. Direct people to peole investing in local projects vetted by local people. Unfortunately I was not able to identify an organization in the Baja that seemed sufficiently up to speed on the issue, so dropped it.

I was able to donate to some projects in Baja and found it very easy if the poster set up a PayPal account. I don't think it is the business nor should it be for the moderator to take on the task of vetting these projects. I do think that these potential sources of help for locals aught to be initiated directly by Nomads and PayPal accounts established. It is the credibility of the Nomads and their local knowledge that is essential for me.
