poverty.hopelessness.homelessness.despair.malnutrition.
these things have caught my attention,
and we need to make a change.
Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man made, and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of Justice. It is the protection of a fundamental human right, the right to dignity and human life.
Nelson Mandela
poverty is not a choice. the choice is in the creating. the choice is in the indifference. the choice is to frown upon the poor and fail to see yourself, as a human being, in their suffering..this is your choice.
