“Don’t give a man a fish but teach him to fish.” For poverty to decrease in our countries, we have to give people the opportunity to do something, not give them a loaf of bread, a fish. We have to teach them to fish, because otherwise we stay in a vicious cycle of not coming out of poverty because we are used to having things given to us and that does not create an entrepreneurial spirit." - Yandra Portela
