“The idea was also to remember some of her policies and to also engage the community around us. It reminds us that in this very wicked world, in this capitalist world where everybody is out for profit, in this world where government forget their people, it reminds us that we don’t need to wait for government or big company to do things.
“We can help our fellow man as little as we can, if everybody adopts that stands today and everyday, life will be better. Today is just a marker, humanitarian day is a day that should be celebrated everyday.
“And we have met with the elders here and we have made our presentation to them the way my mother used to do it.
“We are using this medium to also appeal to other well meaning citizens, that there are other places like this around, let everybody try and do their own part, I know is not easy, I know the economy is not good but there is always somebody who is in one need that you have, that is the essence of humanitarianism.” He explained.
