40 years ago someone set up a village. The founder was entrepreneurial, and wanted to foster that spirit. The inhabitants of that village don't follow an organised religion. That means that every day can be a work day. Men and women can do all jobs. That means that there are more workers available to do the work.
These three things have made the village prosperous.
But the village is disliked by neighbouring villages. One reason given for that dislike is the lack of organised religion.
Gentle ongoing communication is breaking down that hostility, and is bringing more people into this village to do business. This might lead to some of the village's practices spreading to other places, thus helping reduce poverty.
This is a radio piece and should be listened to rather than read.
