What poem are we not going to read because the author died of AIDS while still an infant in Africa?
What song will we not hear because the singer has no way to provide for herself?
What medical breakthrough, Nobel Peace winner, and writer are all lost because of poverty.
This is why I am working to End Poverty. We will end extreme poverty and I will be there.
