Bridging Excellence and Humanitarianism: The Role of the Academe in Fighting Poverty

Abstract:

Much had been told in history that the best symphony comes from everyone in the group doing the best they can have for themselves as well as for the group where they belong. When a person pursues what is essential for his well-being and tries to make himself as successful as possible, it is a pleasing truth for his community. But it is more rewarding if that individual, along with his success, also made a difference for the community. This simple analogy stood up as one of the major foundations in achieving accomplishments in many aspects of humanity including the continuous search for solutions to alleviate poverty.
