Give a man a fish
We all know the saying:
Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today.
Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime.
But there are great many people who know too well how to fish, but cannot afford a fishing rod.
And there are great many of us (myself included), who would order an 18oz filet mignon when my belly is only comfortable with 10oz, spend an extra $10 for a fancier t-shirt, and are easily tempted to buy shiny and excessive things like the iPhone.
If only we can cut some of our excesses and support a microfinance project like these –

There was similar saying in Chinese:
授之以魚，不如授之以漁！
