About This Quote

When asked to sum up her life, Camila Batmanghelidjh, founder of Kids Company, said: "I've been given a gift. I've been given a gift that I'm going to use for an infinite amount of time. It's going to be there for me, all the time. Because that's what it's going to mean if I can make a difference." In other words, hope is what drives people. Without hope, they will give up and never make a difference.
