Yeah, so I love this year's award winner. Read the story.
This is the perfect example of how we CAN make a difference, but we need to address the CAUSES, not the symptoms. This guy addressed the cause that poor people don't have money because they have a hard time making money, or fall on hard times. His bank helps solve that problem, instead of addressing symptoms, like seeing that poor people are hungry and then feeding them.
Give a man a fish, feed him for a day...
It's also an excellent kick in the teeth for other corporate beings (like banks) who are so concerned about making money that they throw the people to the wayside: "I'm rich, fuck everyone else."
This guy turned a profit while helping thousands of people. Just awesome.

That is just too cool. If more people practiced true altruism, there'd be a lot less poverty, starvation, wars etc. in the world. Thanks for the link.
