Good friends we make

i met a local guy at our hostel. he only had the chance to go to school till grade 6. But he is one of those guys that you will never forget. We started talking about development in Africa, and his thoughts and theories blew me away. Some of the things he said:

'We need to settle on a transparent society and combat corruptions and its likes. We need to learn by experience and avoid making the listakes of our forefathers. Let us jointly combat the injustices that causes us to spend our monies on expensive weaponry. WE NEED NOT STORNG MEN BUT STRONG INSTITUTIONS FOR THE PEOPLE AND BY THE PEOPLE.'

i wish I could give this man the opprtunity that he never had... I know he will be a success
