“Humanity is the worlds most precious resource, we must all work together to ensure that everyone lives at least a sustainable existence with dignity.

There are 239 countries on our planet of which 210 are currently at war, either within their borders or outside them. Africa alone encompasses 53 nations, nearly a billion people and more than 800 distinct ethnic groups. Its natural resources are of the worlds most valuable, however it’s people are of the world most poor. The first human beings stood up and walked in Africa and now over 6,000 people die of HIV/aIDS and another 8,000 are infected everyday.

We must work together to ensure aid and investment are getting to the people that really need it. The system as it stands today clearly is not working and must change if we are ever going to solve world poverty and disease.”

“IT IS TIME FOR CIVILIZATION TO REDEFINE ITSELF.”
