RE: Weekend-engagement topic week 36: Generous and charitable - A nice combination

This sound like a nicely thought-out plan and I'm not surprised to see it focus on education. It seems to be a popular thing as a few others have also commented about it. I believe it's better to educate than simply hand over money; The old teach a man to fish scenario.

Helping people to support themselves through business development is also smart and if those people assist others in turn the whole scenario ripples outwards...Like throwing a pebble in a pond I guess.

Thanks for your thoughtful response.

The teach a man to fish scenario is not advice for kids who don't know how the world works, its better to hand over money to their parents who knows how to use it wisely, I know some parents don't know how but that's where the regular check up comes to play, to make sure they are using the money wisely in terms of business and providing for their family.

I know most times here in Nigeria, it seems like a waste of time to be educated because after wards one joins the unemployed graduate. That's where the skills learning come to play, if while schooling, you are taught either how to make dresses or cut hair for guys in terms of barber shop or make hair, in terms of hair saloon or baking, catering and stuff like that. After high school one can easily be self employed and pay his or her fees in the university without falling back to their parent for support
