EDUCATION IS THE WAY OUT OF POVERTY!

That is what the dream is: to offer them a way out of poverty. I would love to improve their day-to-day quality of life, enable them to live in a house with a toilet, running water and electricity, but at the same time I would like to offer them a permanent way out of poverty. I cannot give them the world, and perhaps, where possible, we shouldn’t give the world, but give people the opportunity to empower themselves and to change their own world, give them the same chances we have. In that way they will also learn to value their own lives, and those of others around them.
