There is a woman in Somalia
Scraping for pearls on the roadside
There's a force stronger than nature
Keeps her will alive
This is how she's dying
She's dying to survive
Don't know what she's made of
I would like to be that brave.
—Sade, “Pearls”

Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world.
For, indeed, that's all who ever have.
—Margaret Mead
