-Hubert H. Humphrey (1911,1978), U.S. Democratic politician, vice president speech, July 27, 1965, Detroit, Michigan.
Children are all born into this world full of adventure, hope, and life. It is the men and women who go before them that mold them and shape their futures. Parents, teachers and civil leaders, are the ones who lead these open minds and souls down the roads which they take into adult hood. Each generation should lead a better life than the one before…is what we say and dream. Nonetheless this is not the reality for countless millions of children around the world, children who; die from preventable diseases, live daily in hunger, receive little to no education, fight the wars of their fathers, are raped and abused mentally and physically. As a global society we’re missing that children are the opportunity for hope and change, they are the ones that can make a better and new world for us all. Children are the key to a better society, a better world…a better future! Let us not forget that children can change the world and we can guide them to do so.
