Clich here to read Nicholas Kristof's, "Sewing Her Way out of Poverty" about poverty, microcredit, and hope in Kenya. Here's the last paragraph of the editorial: "There’s a tendency these days to give up on poverty, to dismiss it as a sad but inevitable feature of humanity, particularly at a time when we have deep economic problems of our own. But if a former prostitute in a Nairobi slum can build a dressmaking business, buy a home in the suburbs and produce over-achievers like Caroline, Anthony and Cynthia, then it’s worth remembering that sheer grit, and a helping hand, can sometimes blaze trails where none seem possible."
Information about donating used bridesmaids' dresses to assist Cynthia in Kenya is available on Kristof's blog here.
