So, Taboo or not to Taboo

One thing about working in the taboo area is that the host country nationals are really motivated to do the job. I also feel that the degree of success depends almost entirely on the input from the host country nationals. If their input is strong, the likelihood that their impact is going to stick is quite high; if their input is ambiguous, their impact is likely to be mixed. This means that the work to change the taboo area can easily be reversed, especially after the volunteer is gone. This probably happens the most in social chanage areas. People want to be recognized as having embraced our modern time; but it is usually by the standards set by the host country national. I am going to stop for the moment and will pick it up tomorrow,
