"Poverty is not an accident but man-made like slavery and apartheid" -Nelson Mandela
As Madiba has said, we caused poverty by our attitudes but the good thing is that we can break its long chain.
So friends, wherever you are you can help an orphan, a widow, the homeless , the senior citizen uncared for or that poor brilliant little boy/girl in your neigbourhood. You can get a child back to school, you could volunteer to do free coaching for those who can't afford a class.
You can share your used textbook or story books with those who are willing to read but that can afford a book. Education and knowledge break the rope of poverty.
This is not about giving money because a helping hand to pull someone up from going down could save them from poverty.
A genuine smile to that loneliness child could save his/her life.
Go out and make a different because it could change a generation.
Believe me, we can collectively conquer POVERTY by caring for those who need it and don't have those to care for them .
Bon weekend, a la prochaine!
