The only hope is people-to-people aid, like what was recently provided by Oprah Winfrey at her Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa.

Yet, says Beecham, "It's got concrete floors, exposed columns and exposed ceilings - it's very urban." Simon Woodroffe, owner of the YO! Sushi restaurant chain, is taking a similar, less-is-more approach to hospitality...
