Africa is a continent of great diversity. Unfortunately, we often associate Africa with images of poverty, starvation and war. But, Africa is slowly rising up. Some of the great Africans who inspire me

Nelson Mandela - a Great champion of freedom and equality. Helped bring to an end apartheid in South Africa
Desmond Tutu. A tireless spokesperson for human rights and equality. Also a Nobel Prize winner in 1984
Kofi Annan - Ghana. One of the great UN secretary generals. Led the UN through difficult times, always maintaining an inner calm and exposure.
Haile Selassie. A great leader of Ethiopia. He led his country over the span of 5 decades.
