Ugh. All the donation money they must waste.

It was confusing, to be gentle, handling the situation.

Everyone involved were genuinely good people but lived with the impression nothing in their country was adequate and what passed through was a notion they wanted to boast about their clinic being built with the best materials available.

We managed to diffuse the situation and save them a good chunk of money by having our engineer go there to personally select locally sourced materials - including bricks - to "guarantee" adequate and top quality product.

But it was ridiculous.

We were treated like show items.
