Dedication

This blog is an attempt to make myself think creatively about how to make a difference for neighbours whose needs are not met. The challenge is to come up with one new idea for every day. Publishing them is a way of motivating myself to continue thinking creatively about the issue. You can help by sending your ideas to Daily Poverty Busters at povertybuster 'at' gmail.com

Invite the rich with the poor

When you treat the poor as a friend in a rich people's party you change the way your poor friend is viewed by others and open doors for him to get out of poverty.
