I do hope that books like this will change something, even if only in the minds of some of those people who could do something.<br /><br />Talking about being young and idealistic in the 70s, that describes me, as well. Oh, the dreams we had ...<br /><br />Cheers,<br />MarianneMarianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11810275740213848634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1009417175818512962.post-44017971079982168132017-06-22T13:35:30.867+02:002017-06-22T13:35:30.867+02:00It made me very sad to see that there are areas wh...It made me very sad to see that there are areas where almost everyone has no chance.
