You can educate people on how to preempt their own conflict.

I knew that I was not doing anything wrong, and I knew in my mind I was doing the right thing. I knew that the people who were going against me were not going against me for a good purpose. I knew that they were trying to justify their corruption and misgovernance.

All through the ages the African people have made efforts to deliver themselves from oppressive forces.

We do the right thing not to please people but because it's the only logically reasonable thing to do, as long as we are being honest with ourselves - even if we are the only ones.

What is really important is to educate people how to protect themselves and how to ensure that, despite their poverty, they can get tested and access drugs. So I just hope that those who can will make those drugs available.

I'm sure that many people who are involved in an environmental effort ... they will be pretty much encouraged by this recognition.
