Clayton spoke with NZ/Australian entrepreneur David Bussau who gave a $50 loan to a struggling farmer named Ketut 50 years ago, who was facing the unimaginable. His crops had failed, and with no way to repay his land lease, he was forced to hand over his eldest child to the landowner as collateral. That small loan allowed Ketut’s wife to buy a sewing machine and begin a home business. Their child was returned. Their family was restored. And their future was rewritten. Through that $50 Opportuinity International was born.  Hear David's story of using his gifts to impact the world (including over 42million people).
