Thanks for your thoughtful response @rav3n 

I sent some money online but it wasn’t a huge amount and I could afford it.  I also sent 2 big parcels by sea. They were tailored to the receivers. One was a huge box of educational office work stuff for the kids. The other was a second hand instrument and music. 

I never made it to Africa and I enjoyed a few years of online friendships during the COVID lockdowns so it was worth it. I loved learning about the individual countries and culture. So it was an adventure suitable for a disabled old lady.

 

 I now have insight into Nigeria and Ghana in the west, and Uganda, Sudan, Eritrea, Malawi and Kenya in the East…. All through people I have known. Never been a tourist trap type…lol

 

Redress will have to wait.
