Have you ever wanted to make a difference? When you buy product at WrestleFattie, you are. There are hundreds of thousands , if not millions, of people around the world that are stuck in a cycle of poverty. For them, escape is near impossible. Because of limited abilities, those in poverty are not likely to become leaders in their communities or in the world. They are more likely to find themselves in need of welfare help. They will marry and rear families who will continue in the same cycle that they have known.
With good employment skills, young men and women can rise out of the poverty they and generations before them have known. They will better provide for their families. They will repay their loans that made it possible for them to escape poverty, making it possible for others to be blessed as they have been blessed. It will become a revolving fund.
From the earnings of one of the charities we support, the perpetual education fund, loans will be made to ambitious young men and women, so that they may borrow money to attend school. Then when they qualify for employment, it is anticipated that they will return that which they have borrowed together with a small amount of interest designed as an incentive to repay the loan.
Initially, most of these students will attend technical schools where they will learn such things as computer science, refrigeration engineering, and other skills which are in demand and for which they can become qualified. The plan may later be extended to training for the professions.
It will not be a welfare effort, commendable as those efforts are, but rather an education opportunity. The beneficiaries will repay the money, and when they do so, they will enjoy a wonderful sense of freedom because they have improved their lives not through a grant or gift, but through borrowing and then repaying. They can hold their heads high in a spirit of independence.
Where there is widespread poverty among our people, we must do all we can to help them to lift themselves, to establish their lives upon a foundation of self-reliance that can come of training. Education is the key to opportunity. This training must be done in the areas where they live. It will then be suited to the opportunities of those areas. And it will cost much less in such places than it would if it were done in the United States or Canada or Europe.
It is our solemn obligation, it is our certain responsibility to “succor the weak, lift up the hands which hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees”. We must help those around the world to become self-reliant and successful.
