TED on a new approach to poverty

"...it's understanding that people really don't want handouts, that they want to make their own decisions, they want to solve their own problems and by engaging with them, not only do we create much more dignity for them but for us as well."
-Jacqueline Novogratz

sir Harvey made me speak to a group of young SK leaders at QC hall yesterday, for their youth leadership and social entrepeneurship training seminar. but i didn't get to see that video above before i gave my talk.

instead i looked at Shertloff's Audition (a book about theatre) and Obama's address at Wesleyan. what is really interesting is how all three of them have the same message: that fighting for others is a fight for one's self too.

which is what i basically shared to the kids. they seemed to be happy.
