We often don’t feel motivated or driven enough to stand up for the rights of other people and create positive change in their lives. Most the time, we are busy with our personal struggles, or don’t realize the difficulties that many people face to have rights that seem to us so natural, such as access to education. Here are ten quotes to inspire you to help fight for better education for everyone:
