“Hope is...” — Desmond Tutu
“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.” — Desmond Tutu
Who was Desmond Tutu?
Desmond Tutu was a South African Anglican bishop and social rights activist who gained worldwide fame during the 1980s as an opponent of apartheid.
Born on October 7, 1931, in Klerksdorp, South Africa, Tutu became one of the most prominent voices in the struggle against apartheid, South Africa’s brutal regime of institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination.
What is Hope?
Imagine hope is like having a little light inside your heart that keeps shining, even when things are dark or difficult around you.
It’s like when you really want something good to happen and you believe it can, even if it’s not happening right now.
It’s like when you’re trying to learn something new, like riding a bike.
Even if you fall off a few times, hope is that feeling inside you that says, “I can do this!” and you keep trying until you can ride without falling.
Hope helps you keep going, even when things are tough, and it makes you feel happy and excited about the future.
