If we look at global poverty and then look at our personal resources we can be overwhelmed, but if we look at the poor as individuals it all changes. People move out of poverty every day. Mohammad Yunis, Paul Polak, Kiva, are inventing sustainable ways to help people out of poverty in a way that dignifies the individual. The principles we learn from organizations and people must be applied locally. It is much more effective when we know the individuals and context. The last thing I will say is the biggest obstacles for me to fully engage these kinds of big problems is me. My skills, ability what I allow myself to see, and to then to actually have the balls to do something about it. I can see the potential, but can I reach it? Thanks Victoria for weighing in.
