"Fee for Service" from the Poor
Abstract
By making mutual needs explicit, particularly when one is dealing with deprived and dependent people, it is possible to free the recipient of guilt and the donor of illusions. Candor concerning expectations enhances the self-esteem of those who give and of those who receive. The author describes a novel approach to setting a "fee" for his services as a consultant and notes that the fee can be seen not a burden but rather as a key to interdependence.
