“I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality and freedom for their spirits. I believe that what self-centered men have torn down, men other-centered can build up.”
Quote
If you ever find yourself questioning the value of volunteerism remember that the Titanic was built by professionals and Noah´s Ark was built by volunteers.-Anon.
