Going beyond the Odds to Affect Lives By Gloria Ikegbule
The Revolution in America did not come by chance as many would erroneously think. Young Martin Luther King Jr, caught in a hostile environment of apartheid, was bold enough to be the change his society craved despite the intimidations. On his mantra ‘I have a dream,’ the world saw Martin Luther King Jr. change the history of apartheid in America forever. We have not stopped taking counts of men and women who dreamt change and fought for change all over world. These people battled the odds, endured lack and hurts to birth social change; these men didn't allow their backgrounds and experiences becloud their vision of being change agents. This is the story of an Orphan, Jonathan Olakunle Olanlokun, a die-hard change agent whose seeming hardship can’t stop him from living for the good of his neighbor. For Jonathan, social works is his lifestyle.
