Anielka (Munkel) Olson, originally from the "developing" country of Nicaragua, has had an influential career as professor, government advisor, project manager, and much more. She wants to correct the image we may have of people in the developing world.
She says they don't want to be known as hopeless individuals who wait "for a solution to come from the sky."
"We don't need another U.N. plan for poverty or a celebrity campaign . . what we need is a change in mind-set to recognize the dignity and creative capacity of their brothers and sisters in the developing nations, and support their own initiatives . . opportunity to create wealth for themselves."
