If we don't take care of each other, who will? ... I don't want to ever say, 'I should've done something.'
Alek WekNot everyone is selfish in fashion. There are people who go to bed feeling good about themselves and then spread the love.
Alek WekFor me, there has never been one definition of beauty. I think we all have something to offer and when beauty shines from within, there can be no denying it
Alek WekIn my country, families are raised as though they are one. Although I am from the Dinka tribe, my parents didn't raise us as the Dinka tribe. They raised us as the Wek family, in the way they believed their children should grow up. So when you leave, the first thing you think is the ones you left behind. It's natural to help them in any way you can. I found a way to support myself rather than asking my Mum to give me money. I would work before school and send money back to pay for their rent and food.
