Poor people are still human trapped in miserable circumstances. but being poor doesnt stop you from dreaming to get out from the ditch of life...you still have all your might to reach those dreams and transform your life to be in a better state. Just be persistent and never get tired of trying. the problem with poor people is that they think their life starts and ends in that state. they never realize that we make what we become in life. Dream, believe and never give a second thought on hoping that someday life will be better.

Yes we should help poor persons in all possible ways, but i am not in favor of giving cash money to them, i give clothes and food, i have seen them taking money and spending in drinks.. Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Prof
