What alleviates more suffering: when I do volunteer work in Africa or when I work as <whatever> here and donate a substantial amount of my income to the Red Cross? Me comforting some children dying of AIDS or me supplying the means for a hundred blankets in a refugee camp?
Just saying if you have freedom, you should use it wisely.
Who's going to be the judge of that? It would suck pretty bad if Elon Musk had decided to spend his life in Africa as a volunteer, now wouldn't it?

Everything the guy touches turns to gold. If more smart, vibrant people like him went to Africa instead of chasing pipe dreams around Silicon Valley and Wall Street, Africa might be a very different place today. BTW he did spend part of his life in Africa, he was born there :)
