Turning Poop into Fire
My friends at Wokai are thinking about putting together a 2 min promotional video. They watched what The Girl Effect produced, and they're inspired.
Rightfully so.But they need a 2 minute story. Something that explains poverty in China, microfinance as a tool to fight it, and Wokai as a means to grow Chinese MFIs.In my first comment to the Wokai blog post in which they announced their desire to make a video, I rambled about the two Chinas . Another one of Wokai's friends replied asking what I thought about a video about a 三为一体, a pig sty that captures methane released from pig manure and pumps it into kitchens to power gas stoves. I replied:

I think a pig sty story sounds good. Not just a girl. Even better. A girl and her piglets.
And there's something unquestionably memorable about turning poop into fire.
I figure that's a comment worth saving, if for no other reason than that it involves the word poop.
I'm also curious to know if using the word poop in this posterous post title will attract more readers than my more mildly titled raves. We'll see.
