Many of my students are interested in development studies and I think this type of story is one of the best ways to begin to understand how small efforts and projects can change people's lives and make a different step by step.

I really appreciate how Nicholas Kristof of the NYT shares these stories. The fact that one Swedish lady (Ms. Ingred Munro) running a NGO in Kenya to help female beggars can lead to a recovery from a difficult situation like this for this family is truly inspiring.
