Jessica Jackley: Poverty, money -- and love

Summary
According to “Poverty, money – and love”, Jessica Jackley presented her own stories and opinions about poverty. When she was six years old, she learned about poverty from Bible. It noticed that people need to do something for poor. It is our job, because Jesus asked us to do for the world. Poor always be with us. When she doing his homework, she found that first time fear to those kinds of people who always ask for help. There is no more positive for people that they are sadness, suffering, have disease and war. She feels guilty, because she did not do more: give time and money. She found out two solutions about how to deal with poverty. First, people should share resources. Second, people should open businesses for poor. People should make friends with them and know their personal stories. The best way to change is donation. She posted her friend Omalia’s photo and stories in the Internet. The purpose of that is to raise money. People should free to interact and participate in their story. She gave out a formula “Entrepreneurship = Tomorrow > Today”. People should do better than yesterday. We are not donate money to people, but also gave the love to them. Mostly importantly, we already care them.

Response
I strongly agree with her idea about how we love people and help poor. Every year I heard a lot of heartbreaking news from TV such as earthquake, flood and storm. The reporter pointed out a huge number of deaths. And then reporter will show us how much have already rose for disaster. I am wondering how we feel about donation. Happy or think this is enough? I do not think so, because we only help then in material but not in mental. Those people really need money for food and drink. After than we should give love to them and encourage them move on. They need more attention and love. Money is not means everything to people but love does. She posted some people’ stories in the Internet for help them doing business. I think this is a good idea. She fix the problem for the root of poverty. She encourages them start the business and teach them life skills for make money.
