Beauty and Pierre

Yesterday I read in the NRC, a Dutch newspaper, that Pierre Omidyar the founder of eBay and one of the wealthiest people in the world has granted 100 Million dollars for a Micro Financing project.

I truly believe that Micro Financing is one of the best ways of giving sustainable aid to third world countries, as it is a great leaver if not prerequisite for loads of people, specifically women, to personally improve their live and that of their families' in a long lasting, sustainable way.

A dollar earned is much more worth than a dollar given. I'll bore you another time with my thoughts on liberalism... but did you know our own Princes Maxima promoted the United Nations ”International Year of Microcredit”?
