Do They Really Want Help?

I watching CNN the other day and they mentioned something about how a certain "humanitarian" group wants to go to some third world country and help establish school, library's, technology etc and I started to think; do these people really want our help? Do our humanitarian groups receive letters from these people saying they want our help? Probably not, many of the people these groups are trying to save have been living the way they do currently for centuries, if we were to help them it would completely change their lives and turn their daily routines upside down. "Helping" them would probably be worse then just leaving them alone. Not to mention, once technology gets established in a population, a whole new set of daily life problems occur, things like printers not working and internet being down. When people get become dependent on this help or this technology, they forget how to do things on their own. Honestly I think the developed world needs to slow down on helping the "undeveloped" world a little bit because our helping them might just make their lives more difficult.
