Africa's greatest treasure: Her children

"There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children." -Nelson Mandela

Let me come to be still in your silence

Let me come to be still in your silence
And let me talk to you with your silence
That is bright as a lamp
Simple, as a ring
You are like the night
With its stillness and constellations
Your silence is that of a star
As remote and candid

                                      -Pablo Neruda
