[James Thomas Rook Jr.]

There is an old saying ...

"Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day,

Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime" ...

but it is a waste of time to teach a man to fish if he does not live near water.

Destitution level poverty only gives someone choices between destitution, and death.

In some environments, "reaching your potential" is absolutely impossible, and there is only  hard choices, and no choices at all.

At least for today, the 15 year old girl will eat, have protection, and a roof over her head.

She had no choice .... many would pray to be so unfortunate as to have her problems ......... with her limited blessings thrown in.

Unfortunately, there is also Biblical precedent for this. It happens in the United States too, but more and more attention to it has been slowly changing the laws in many U.S. states.
