“Together we can change the world. I believe we can achieve great things together. We can create more jobs and work opportunities for our youths. We can build more standard yet affordable schools for the children of the world. We can house more destitute and accommodate the less privileged, orphans and the aged. We can build more hospitals and healthcare facilities, to reduce mortality rate and save more lives. We can bridge ethnic gaps and religious barriers. We can defend the oppressed, cop crimes; create a calm, peaceable and more conducive living environment for many.”

Indeed the journey of a thousand miles starts with a step. So I do not assume that this is achievable over night; yet we have to start from somewhere. If I do whatever I can do at each moment, to make the world around me a better and habitable place; and you do same, even to your immediate environment; together our quota could go a long way to solve more problems than we could ever imagine possible.

 At your capacity, and at my level, let’s ask ourselves; ‘What can I do to better another person’? It starts from there. You may not start with sending foreign aids, and I may not begin with building free academic institutions. From our little efforts comes the capacity for greater works.

• Can you pick a child off the street and pay a tuition?
• How many books can you supply to pupils or students and school libraries?
• Can you facilitate or sponsor a campaign for female education, and or female hygiene in some places, as the case may be?
• Can you raise a voice or movement against child abuse, gender violence, game violence or juvenile delinquency?
• How can you support antenatal programs,  pregnant women, nursing mothers, children with disabilities or special cases hospital patients?
• How can you assist in hospital bills or lift some burden off the incapable sick folks?
• What skill development projects or programs can you initiate, sponsor or support?
• Can you donate a portable drinking water source to a community?

The list of questions of what you and I can do together for mankind is unending. Let’s just start somewhere.
