Hope.....

Just this afternoon I sat watching the television and a documentary came on about OWLAG (Oprah winfery leadership academy for girls) opera's school in South Africa. I must say I was touched and humbled, as human beings we take so much for granted ; here were young girls who had no access to water, accommodation, food etc talkless of getting an education.
 
These girls are from poor backgrounds living in villages and suburbs most of them rejected by their fathers, suffering from segregation.... Racism is very much alive in South Africa despite all efforts to stop it.
 
Oprah went on to say that in building the school she was so particular about the infrastructure, the electronic platforms, the beddings,the best teachers, electricity, water and toilet system; off all these the girls were thrilled about two things only..... the running water and the toilet systems, they were screaming and standing under the showers……. How can a child not have the basic amenities .... Its so sad
 
 
Oprah gave them  hope, love , happiness, acceptance etc  to these girls , you should have seen their faces they cried , they laughed, they were so confused. Bearing in mind that this was the first generation after the aphartheid; it was very liberating for these girls. Oprah's humanitarian services has been written down in the sands of time .
 
 
It brought only one thing to my mind in all you do never loose hope, never give up on your dreams, the sky is the limit; nothing is impossible……
