2.2 billion people live on less than $2 a day and over 1 billion live in extreme poverty, trying to survive on just $1.25 per day.

In the case of TIM COSTELLO from World Vision the answer is disturbing to say the least.
His “total remuneration” package is $316,000 per year.

Opposition parties claim the government of Baron Waqa has ordered the local Internet provider to block access to social media sites.

Refugee activists have also hit out at the decision saying refugees often use Facebook to contact friends, family and journalists.
This article from Radio Australia features an interview with Batsiu:
