Answer:
There are many ways of helping to build a better world. Depending on their own talents, different people choose different ways. They may choose to become leaders, educators, mentors, coaches, writers, artists, filmmakers, social entrepreneurs, activists or whatever.
Wangari Maathai combined many of these roles. She was born in 1940, the third of six children, in a traditional mud hut with no electricity or running water. She went on to enable many people to shape their future lives.
Whilst best known for her work with the Green Belt Movement in Kenya, she also acted as a positive model for people.
During her life she recruited hundreds of thousands of people who planted more than 40 million trees. She also encouraged people to harness their inner strength.
Wangari recognised that she was fortunate because her family sent her to a primary school run by Italian nuns.
