    The Mail says, 'it's a lot more ethical than many of ours'. <br />That would not surprise me. <br />One of the comments asked why are 'two of the boys checking their cell phones?'. I downloaded and expanded two pics and it looks to me that the items in the boys hands they are looking at are the bank passbooks. <br />There must be a lot of info we are not told about but this seems to be a charity doing great work. I hope it succeeds.

    that is amazing and inspiring! I would love to learn more. it reminds me, in a way, of another program I love to give to. they provide, among other things, micro loans to women to start their own businesses. it's all about empowerment and independence. imagine one of these kids funding their way through school and starting their own bank afterwards. I'd love to see that.
