I've been reading your blog for some time now, and though I frequently share some of your same worries (I am ambitious as well), I would say that you underestimate yourself in thinking that your actions (even if they ARE online) are futile. Human rights are something you are passionate about and as a 20-year-old in school full time, there is only so much you can directly do to aid starving Indian children or government exploited Nigerian citizens. "For now, though, you have something wonderful and that is the power of the pen.
Many people in our field tend to doubt that our actions and words are as effective as actually going out there and helping fix the economy as you mentioned earlier. Check out all the quotes about ignorance out there--the first step in solving/alleviating ANY problem out there is spreading awareness first...yes, it's cliche and everyone says it, but how are you going to engage anyone in action if you don't engage their brains and hearts into the cause first. What's going to make someone out there want to invest their time in helping some far off country with its economy if they don't even know about its plight first or the impact they might have on it?

"To be honest, there is no way in which some random stranger reading my blog will suddenly start caring about human rights or development issues." Absolutely wrong--if anything, you're breaking down these issues into language and a perspective that many people can relate to. Please don't stop what you're doing. Good luck :)
