"The real tragedy of the poor is the poverty of their aspirations". Adam Smith. I see Rob's point of view, by providing for the poor without empowering them to provide for themselves takes away their ability to ever be able to care for themselves. Yet Lenbert's heart is too big to see it go unnoticed. Education is the only tried and true method of ending poverty and to that end musical instruments may spark aspirations so I see value in that method. Perhaps Lenbert needs help with the educational aspect of this problem, and perhaps it is time for him to become political and approach local government as an advocate for this change. Just to provide for those living in poverty is a daily solution and a long term disaster. We all love those people and worry for their children, it will be a long road without the grass roots movement from the government.
