Desmond Tutu – TalkHope is an act of courage.

“We should not be overwhelmed by the fact that this task seems so impossible. Do what you can, where you can...because it may just be that your act of courage- and courage is someone else who was slightly more apprehensive and that person says, ‘Hey, he's done that, maybe I can’ and it builds up, and it builds up, and it builds up.”

Desmond Tutu – TalkWe are the water droplets for a sea of change.

“We were supported, you know our struggle, by very, very many people- often students who struggled to persuade their institutions to divest. But if they had said, ‘No, what can little I do?’, we might still be suffering under Apartheid.”
