Further random notes on poverty (new perspectives cont d)

Poverty kills, yet it should not be considered as a disease

No opportunity means infinite opportunity

Poverty is no coincidence, nor an injustice

Under the current systems provided by World Bank & IMF: foreign aid actually worsens the effects of poverty: dependence theory; the north always wins.

Help create instead of giving: You get off at the airport in Hanoi, Sao Paulo, Calcutta, Phnom Penh or Kinshasa; You hand candy to a child beggar, it is his/her first time receiving something from his/her begging, congratulations! You've just destroyed that child s life.

Once we start applying this thought process (deemed radical by some) when it comes to fighting poverty, we will ALL win, north and south.
