Hatred, intolerance, poor hygienic conditions and violence all have roots in illiteracy, so we're trying to do something to help the poor and the needy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is a triangular relationship between poverty, child labour and illiteracy who have a cause and consequence relationship. We will have to break this vicious circle.
Promoting education is an effort that is close to my heart. Illiteracy contributes to poverty; encouraging children to pick up a book is fundamental.
When we see people that are impoverished and people who are dealt an unfair hand, then if we have the power to help them, we should try to do that.
Violence is the repartee of the illiterate.
We need to recognise that what really matters isn't buying more and more consumer goods, but family, friends, and knowing that we are doing something worthwhile with our lives. Helping to reduce the appalling consequences of world poverty should be part of that reassessment.
We must restore hope to young people, help the old, be open to the future, spread love. Be poor among the poor. We need to include the excluded and preach peace.
Elimination of illiteracy is as serious an issue to our history as the abolition of slavery.
Poverty is not inevitable. It is a human ill that we can fight if we decide to do so together.
Illiteracy is rampant. People are out of communication.
There is no reason why a nation as rich as ours should be blighted by poverty, disease, and illiteracy.
