I want to change things from what they are now. I feel great inspiration from what I saw when traveling in Zimbabwe. This banner from ZCBTA (Zimbabwe Cross Border Trader Association) has the right message for me. Politics is too often decided far from the people. Those that make decisions must listen to the poor. They are building too many airports while our orphans have nowhere to sleep. They restrict the small businesses instead of the big ones. So that the poor people stays poor and the rich ones get richer.
