Not when by helping one understands working together with the people on those counties and provide them the means that they need to fulfill their goals.

Fair enough, but the original comment sounded to me like just a (brutally) honest opinion of life in Nepal. I can imagine people finishing that blog post thinking "that sounds idyllic" and if it's not strictly true then the comment you replied to may be a pretty useful reality check

"The imperialist interpretation of "The White Man's Burden" (1899) proposes that the white man has a moral obligation to rule the non-white peoples of the Earth, whilst encouraging their economic, cultural, and social progress through colonialism.
"In the later 20th century, in the context of decolonisation and the Developing World, the phrase "the white man's burden" was emblematic of the "well-intentioned" aspects of Western colonialism and "Eurocentrism". The poem's imperialist interpretation also includes the milder, philanthropic colonialism of the missionaries:
"The implication, of course, was that the Empire existed not for the benefit — economic or strategic or otherwise — of Britain, itself, but in order that primitive peoples, incapable of self-government, could, with British guidance, eventually become civilized (and Christianized)."
