Richard notes in this seven-minute interview that U.S. foreign aid for humanitarian projects such as food security, water, and health care amounts to only $11 billion a year – less than 1/3rd of 1 percent of the government’s $4 trillion budget. Quoting John F. Kennedy, Richard adds: “We have a moral obligation” as a nation to help people in poor countries improve their lives.
