Comments on: Back from India http://www.mybigworldofcrap.org/2008/06/01/back-from-india/ I'm in my 50's, live in Canberra and these are my musings about all sorts of crap that grabs my attention Sat, 04 Feb 2012 03:06:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Lightening@Lightenings Blogworld http://www.mybigworldofcrap.org/2008/06/01/back-from-india/comment-page-1/#comment-2183 Lightening@Lightenings Blogworld Fri, 13 Jun 2008 06:09:23 +0000 http://www.mybigworldofcrap.org/2008/06/01/back-from-india/#comment-2183 There is a company (and maybe many others doing the same thing for all I know) that allows you to sponsor a Rickshaw for a family living in poverty in India. For $700 they build a brand new Rickshaw and give them training in maintenance and how to run a business so that they can work their way out of poverty. Apparently a lot of the Rickshaws aren't driven by owners. And at times those that drive them don't earn enough money to cover the rent of the Rickshaw let alone left over money to feed their families. :( There is a company (and maybe many others doing the same thing for all I know) that allows you to sponsor a Rickshaw for a family living in poverty in India.
