We can. Poverty Museums

Muhammud Yunus, on accepting the Nobel prize, thanked everyone on behalf of the poor. He accepted the award and referenced "our work". Truly great people don't need to promote themselves; they focus on the idea, the concept or endeavor. He thanked everyone for supporting "us". Amazingly humble man. He also went on to say in his acceptance speech, that if mankind wanted to end poverty badly enough, we would do it. He contends that as a human race we have come to accept poverty as an established fact, though there are ways and means that future generations of "children would only see poverty in museums". Yunus states that every human being is born with the seed to express their innate creativity; its the environmental conditions that determine whether they have the chance to express their creativity or not. The micro loans give people the chance to express their inner creativity and energy.
