Wise Words
'Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions or human beings ....Overcoming poverty is not a gesture or charity. It is an act of justice.' Nelson Mandela
I agree with Nelson Mandela however, although poverty can be limited by the individual, it can never be eliminated entirely because countries will always act out of self-interest. Ending poverty demands sacrafices and changes in priorities that even the most charity-giving nations would be unwilling to make.
