Ending poverty: our discussion, our vision

Hi Deryl,

Thanks for sharing your comments on my blog. I do agree with you that poverty is a state of the mind but more so, that its important to empower people with skills and resources to give them livelihoods other than handouts.

You did mention in your comment that "there must be an exit strategy tied to charity". It would be great to have you share with me and the rest of the community of young people what some of these strategy are and more so, how young people can move from charity recipients to charity givers in other circumstances. Please also do respond to the subtopics mentioned on my page if you do have the time. Thank you very much for visiting and sharing your thoughts.
