RID OF POVERTY

Poverty is not ignorance..and ignorance nor poverty. But in some cases, poverty is indentical with stupidity.Can not attend to school due to poverty, ignorance creates..As the result of ignorance can not be fully operational, creating poverty.

In my area North Sulawesi, The GOD JESUS blessed with very fertile soil,..people say " The promised land".Tropical climate that excited ..people say "paradise". The Church is everywhere..people say "Switzerland of Asia".. Our area is rich with a variety of crops..known since time immemorial..so invate oher nations to come to colonize our nation..the Nederlands for example 350 years.

Amazingly..it did not make us prosper..coconut farming folk but purchase price up and down at the will the buyer. Seller are powerless to maintain prices..Strangely when oil prices rise..the price of coconuts declined drastically. Even has coconut tree can not make that much less prospereous.. Do not have..yes..poor..poverty.
There are survey that say..society is heading North Sulawesi impoverishment.. and indeed here and there are many shabby house..not meet standards of housing..poor sanitation, clean water away..home furnishings ..makeshift bedroom contained only a homemade bad with mattress dingy..without wardrobe..kitchen contains only a frying pan and pot..the living room together with dinning room only table and benches there.
So sad..and makes us look more panthetic frustration.

Most of mothers make gambling as an escape and fathers wanted to forget about poverty with drunkenness.
And children victims..potluck food malnutrition..broken school and half derclict. Poor people are most likely to gamble..daydream wanted riches and a shortcut is gambling..Not rich outcome even more mired in it..and start to get acquainted with the debt... Is poor, heavily indebted..sick hemorrhoids, high/low blood pressure etc.
As well  as the fathers who want to forget poverty with dreams of becoming rich by drunkenness. Minimal wages spent by treating a drunk friends. Return home to fight with the wife..and not infrequently accompnied by the beating of wives and children...were drunker usualy lazy work.
You can imagine the impact for families especially children..Already poor, the destitute are still gambling, drunkenness and debt.

FIGHT AGAINTS POVERTY  - CAUTION OVER
The first time is change the mindset..very clear..mindset needs to change.
Way out of poverty is not by gambling and drunkenness. This needs attention from various parties who cares.
Changing mindset is not easy..they can not be tolerated..numerous gamblers and drunks.
In my villages where I lives almost haft the population.
Gambling and drinking habits need to be channeling the other..filled with new habits that brings its own preoccupations..activities that bring pleasure like coaches who are experts in their fields such as ..cooking, knitting, sewing, beauty, make souvenirs..etc
For the gentlemen..woodworking, making furniture, tanning leather to make shoes, bags...recycling use goods..would be nice trash items should still be money.
Here are just a lot pigskin discarded because they do not know how to tan..dried banana leaves but only burned the raw materials for paper faxes...papaya latex is tapped when it is raw materials for medicinal and cosmetic.. sad..poor in the midst of wealth..

We create activities that are pleasing to make them forget the bad habits..even them turned to hate..
