It is important to realise that it is not simply the education of third world countries that must occour, but of the first world nations as well.

I say "are able", but obviously the capability for such action already exists. It is this which prompts me to say that education is also key in the so called "powerful nations".

Education always starts with people. If we wish to help people learn about this situation, we first need to learn about it ourselves:
