How can you help a homeless person?Just giving him money won't solve his problem.It's important that he learns how to make his own money.The magazine The Big Issue gives him that chance.
Any homeless person who wants to make money can apply for a job selling the magazine.First,he must prove he's homeless or soon will be.After training,he receives 10 free copies of the magazine which sell for﹩ 100 each.With that money,he buys more magazines for﹩ 50 each.The more magazines sold,the more money earned.
In 1991,John Bird and Gordon Roddick,of the United Kingdom,wanted to help homeless people.They founded a monthly magazine that homeless people could sell.Its appealing content made people want to buy and read it.The idea spread.In April 2010,magazine editor Fines Lee published Taiwan'S first copy of The Big Issue."Instead of giving the homeless money,"Lee says,"we provide them with a way to help themselves,and we encourage the public to do the same."
