    Dead Aid: Why Aid Is Not Working and How There Is a Better Way for Africa
    by Dambisa Moyo

    Recommended by: Ro

This is a call to the living,
To those who refuse to make peace with evil,
With the suffering and the waste of the world.
This is a call to the human, not the perfect,
To those who know their own prejudices
Who have no intention of becoming prisoners of their own limitations.
This is a call to those who remember the dreams of their youth,
who know what it means to share foot and shelter
The care of children and those who are troubled,
To reach beyond barriers of the past bringing people to communion.
            
This is a call to the never ending spirit of the common man,             
His essential decency and integrity,    
His unending capacity to suffer and endure,  
To face death and destruction and to rise again        
And build from the ruins of life.
This is the greatest call of all
The call to a faith in people.

 

From: Algernon D. Black, former senior leader, New York Society for Ethical Culture
