Abstract
In resource development, it is more important to develop human resources than natural resources, according to the author. He contends that to fully develop these human resources, low-income people must develop a desire to better themselves. But how can we motivate the unmotivated? The author suggests involving the poor in group participation at the neighborhood level. Recognizing the fact that often the poor drop out of a group before they can be helped, he explores the reasons people join groups and the effect of the environment on desires and interests. Implications are given for working with the poor in neighborhood activities and organizations.
