MSR: A Worthwhile Program That Makes Sense

Garden Decor is Fun — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 15:32:21 -0400

MSR is simply a wonderful and doable idea. The training program, the "tools" program, and the connection to the community all contribute to the community support this worthwhile program has received. Rather than simply "giving" food or money to the men in your community as a handout (a policy that does not help a person become self-sufficient and productive), the MSR program teaches men the training they need to become more productive members of society. By the way, since I have a "garden decor" website, I noted with great pride that one of the training areas offered is "gardening." Charles Maisel, I tip my hat to you for making a positive difference in the lives of the men (and indirectly, in the lives of the women) in your community.

Activity Description: Men on the Side of the Road (MSR) is giving thousands of unemployed men in South Africa the vital skills, tools, and social infrastructure to improve their lives. Extremely high unemployment rates in South Africa have forced men to stand on the side of the road, looking for temporary work and accepting low wages and abuse. MSR founder Charles Maisel saw the potential for these day laborers to recognize and utilize their own strength to create change from the bottom up.
