Mandela has the word

"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. 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."

/Nelson Mandela

Interesting!
Some minutes ago I sent the same words from Mandela in an Eastergreeting to a lot of my friends. As you see,dear blogger, many times you and I think the same.

Guess where I got it... :-) Think the same yes, but in this case just confirming that we do by steeling the statement and publish it here.
