Micro-loans to entrepreneurs is a better way to help, instead of just giving. It helps people to earn their own money and develops the economy in poor countries. And as you get your money back you can continue to help, again and again, with the same money. This way you will be able to help many more people.

To help people help themselves is the only way that works in the long run. It´s the only way to end poverty. As the proverb says: “Give someone a fish and you feed him for a day; Teach someone to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”

At kiva.org and microplace.com you can lend to entrepreneurs around the globe.

”The wishes and the selfishness of the individual must appear as nothing and submit,” declares Hitler in Mein Kampf; a man must “renounce putting forward his personal opinion and interests and sacrifice both.” (Leonard Peikoff, The Ominous Parallels, p.68)

That Hitler was against selfishness should not come as a surprise. He wanted to control people, and you can`t control selfish people because selfish people follow their own mind instead of obeying a dictator.

Do yourself and society a favour: be selfish!
