DREAM OR DREAM ON ???

Every startup starts with a dream idea..mine is to build a huge educational platform for the benefit of the poorest people on the planet..my first idea was to put up a website entitled...........
"Rubbish tip people.".Inspired by a picture of a small child on a huge rubbish hill....her work was to find rags as a" product"to sell for food for the day....no rags..no food.

On the face of it my dream is impossible..make money and give it to the poor..that's the way to help..?.Many charities do this ..... but there are still more poor today than at any time in history..
The answer must be to give the poor the means to generate wealth themselves..but how can this be done? What have the poor got that has sufficent value the rich markets would want?

Then it hit me .......They have the same ability to think ..come up with ideas as anyone else........
What they don't have is a means of realising those ideas.....nothing to enable them to understand ideas can be realised if the way is known and encouragement is given...

Realistically though you cannot expect an immediate breakthough without a focal point and the presentation of the means..........this brings us to.. testmyidea.com ...This is my testbed for the dream............ It offers ..free webspace to anyone rich or poor....free information..in the form of reports and work manuals the free starter is already online...

Now comes the most difficult part how to start it" running"with the potential to help the poor
Keep in mind the poor cannot afford to pay anything to start....they may be miles from internet access and even if available they may only have a vague idea how to use their assets...
There has to be a go between...a mentor from somewhere....will these vital links appear?
This currently is the biggest problem to overcome....i am trying to find these starters at colleges and universities in Pakistan.... To get these involved in the project they will need incentives..?

What can we offer ? We have ideas .....let us have yours .........more

May you sleep well poor or otherwise...... .humbird
