Did anyone ever think about the fact that "the money they show in one hand" is a form of compassion to help the poor and needy? All they ask in return is to hear their beliefs. No one ever forces them by saying we will only help you if you convert. We have so many different religious sects that use violence to stop these western missionaries. How is that justified. Everyone has a motive...... very seldom do we see people like Shawn who are just motivated by their passion to inspire change. If that was the norm we would see many like him but it is not......

I'm impressed with a post on Shawn's blog about "Religion, Politics, and Fighting Poverty". and All these western machineries come to India and other poor countries with one sole aim to convert them to Christianity. With one hand they show poor the money and with the other hand they will ask you to follow their religion. Shawn quotes "Though our beliefs differ, our goals should be the same: We. Must. End. Poverty". If these rich machineries can follow the same and serve the poor without any self-motives - they can surely make a difference in ending the poverty. Great job bud ..... God bless you !!!

I can understan the lukewarm responce for this post. There is nothing here to debate about, coz everyone agrees on his efforts and no controversy's over that. People seem to have varied opinion on controversy's and would like to present their interpretations of that. Apart from that, i feel that the major media needs to Highlight cases like these and need to emphasize on the difference that could be made if big corporates follow suite. I would like to see the corporates to adopt some villages and bring in a change in the lifes of the poor. If atleast one corporate does this in a grand scale and if it were given proper coverage then it will bring in the rest of the corporates to do the same.

We fight over religion, political parties, our favorite heros .. but when it comes to realities like these .. we don't even have a second to appreciate people. I'm surprised to see one can go to such extent to serve people. God bless people like these. Good luck to Shawn .. I am very sad to see the luke-warm response to this topic.

Also the number of comments on this article show how we all sit around and comment on stuff that we have no control over like politics and corruption but when it comes to real life situations that we could be part of no one wants to say anything. My heartfelt support this brave soul who is out to make a difference and is making a difference as I speak. Much kudos to this guy who wants to make a difference.
