Streetwise . . .

Streetwise is a non profit organization which creates a job system for those in poverty. Streetwise creates a magazine in which they sale to " Street Vendors" for seventy-five cents and in return the Vendor sales the magazine to the public for two dollars making a small but beneficial profit.

To me this is a great opportunity for these people. Not only are they earning a wage for them to keep themselves an their family up for the time being but they are learning to cope back into a normal society with their since of responsibility.  

 The only opposition i would make to the company is, what happens to the vendors if they do not make enough profits to cover for the expenses they had to make to buy the streetwise magazines. They need to make some type of assurance for these clients because obviously they do not have enough funds to be taking this much of a gamble; for these poverty stricken citizens they need every penny earned. If the organization creates a magazine buy back program for the vendors then this organization will truly be a success.

** Streetwise corporation should buy back each left-over magazine purchased at 75 cents for 50 cents**
