Poor But Not Working Poorly
Poor people aren't lazy. Especially in the third world, they are some of the hardest working people. But even working hard doesn't mean you can break out of the cycle of poverty. Recently, I had the opportunity to meet this really inspiring 15 year old. He supports his mother on about $2 a day by running a recycling business in Dhaka, Bangladesh. He trades used bottles for vegetables and then sells the bottles at a profit. As inspiring as this is - $2 a day isn't enough to break the cycle of poverty. It's barely enough to avoid falling back into extreme poverty. And, even though I am here in Bangladesh, I am still unsure what I can do to make a lasting difference in the lives of the poorest of the poor. Advice and inspiration from the YouTube community is definitely welcome. Thanks for subscribing - those who subscribed up until now, watch until the end for a shoutout.
