please help for poor people.....

Helping poor people is a great incentive but giving them the tools they need to get out of poverty is even better. The idea of being poor is based on the fact far too many people are not able to access services that are out there. Reasons such as lack of transportation, illiteracy, lack of income and basic needs make it impossible for the poor to overcome barriers to be successful in mainstream society. Stereotyping of ethnic, racial, religious, where you live, and lack of education add to the many issues facing the poor. They face this every time they go in to access services at social services, public assistance and even in the medical field. To me the best way to help the poor is to give them a hand up rather than a hand out. Showing heart felt humility and sincerity in assisting those in need is the best way to get their attention in getting them to want to do things for themselves rather than have someone else do it for them. It also makes them aware that someone really does care about them. By providing them with the opportunities to improve themselves on their own will give them self confidence, increase their self esteem, and restore their self respect in overcoming barriers that face them everyday.
