Poverty and War
On this Veterans Day Thinkhaus is asking what is the best way to prevent our men and women in the armed forces from going into harms way? They go into situations that are sometimes unmanageable and always difficult.

NURU founder and CEO Jake Harriman attended the U.S. Naval Academy and served over 7 years in the Marine Corps as an Infantry Plato on Commander and a Special Operations Platoon Commander. He believes he knows the answer - poverty.

People living in poverty around the world do not have the options or resources to make their lives better. NURU is an international organization doing all it can to bring people around the world together to provide them with options and resources to grow their economic status, preventing them from turning to violence in an attempt for a better life.

In this wonderful video Jake explains his desire to develop NURU and artistically illustrates the link between poverty and war.
