New Inspiration for Making Pathway to Prosperity Useful for Conceptualizing Progress

I had a breakthrough last night for Pathway to Prosperity. A lot of what I'm trying to do with this charity is emphasize the critical importance of child labor law enforcement and compulsory schooling as the ultimate answer for the elimination of world-wide poverty, illiteracy, and disease. As far as I can tell, most folks in the field still do not understand how crucial these factors are to flipping from a world of poverty to a world of possibility.

Here's my plan. When I see a story that shows folks are moving in the right direction, I'll award them + signs for going forward in the right direction. If they are going in the wrong direction, I'll award them - signs. This will be done on a scale of 1 to 5 so that the best possible forward movement will receive +++++ plus signs and the worst movement backwards will get - - - - - negative signs.

Potentially, this rating scale could be established for each country regarding its progress on eliminating child labor. The point is to begin a fresh education process which helps those fighting child labor see the complete significance of their efforts in a historical perspective.
