Poverty doesn't exist because the poor are lazy. Especially in a developing (third world) country like Bangladesh, the poor are some of the hardest working people on the planet. But hard work doesn't necessarily mean you can break the cycle of poverty - what's why we need to help.
Recently, I had the opportunity to meet this really inspiring 15 year old. He supports his mother on about $2 a day by running a recycling business in Dhaka, Bangladesh. He trades used bottles for vegetables and then sells the bottles at a profit.
As inspiring as this is - $2 a day isn't enough to break the cycle of poverty. It's barely enough to avoid falling back into extreme poverty. And, even though I am here in Bangladesh, I am still unsure what I can do to make a lasting difference in the lives of the poorest of the poor. Advice and inspiration from the YouTube community is definitely welcome.

For people who are sayin this person's bengali sucks...this person grew up with parents that spoke English at home. If you guys think he needs to spend more time learning his mother language, he has already spent an incredible amount of time helping his motherland. And also, lets say you were this guy. You wouldn't even bother trying and would probably tell the translator to say everything for you. At least he know his bengali may not be great, but tries to communicate the best as possible.
