Poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. And 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 a decent life. While poverty persists, there is no true freedom.
Nelson Mandela, Make Povery History
“It would seem that you have no useful skill or talent whatsoever,” he said. “Have you thought of going into teaching?”
