‘I challenge you to help just one person and expect nothing in return’: Rihanna

In our everyday life, in order to achieve more, to become more successful than others, we plant a new desire to move forward, while ignoring sufferings of others, those who never quite had the opportunity even to dream.
“When I was five or six years old, I remember watching TV and I would see commercials, ‘You could give 25 cents and save a child’s life’, and I’d think to myself I wonder how much 25 cents I could save up to save all the kids in Africa,” Rihanna said in a speech at Harvard University.

Addressing the students, she made a call-to-action, to help just one person and expect nothing in return. “To me, that is a humanitarian.”

In a capital world, people have made it too hard to help others. We have built a lot of barriers. She said, “You don’t have to be rich to help somebody, you don’t [have to] be rich, you don’t [have to] be famous, don’t even have to be college-educated; you just do whatever you can to help the person right next to you.”
Her speech was received with a resounding applause.
