On images of Global Poverty...

A truer image would depict a man and a woman who have painstakingly saved to construct a house for themselves and their children and who are creating enterprises where no-one imagined they could be built. I resent the characterisation of such heroic entrepreneurs as contributors to the problem of global poverty. They are not the problem. They are the solution.
