Its really crazy when you go through nobel winners and success programs throughout developing countries its always education, voting, and gender equality that drive change. Micro lending in India was also totally rad and brought the poorer people up a lot.
I initially wanted to do international humans rights work with the internation justice mission.

Respect. I like playing music more than anything else but this also takes up a huge part of my brain power, I think alot about these issues, they fascinate me. Education is such a HUGE factor in social change. People don't nessesarily need to be amazingly smart, they just need to be shown how to think independently and for themselves, and then they are less likely to buy into propaganda and such. Again with Pakistan as an example, I think I read the literacy rate is only about 50% in the country, and as low as 10-15% in certain regions!
