Real heroism, the kind of things I often saw throughout Africa is the generosity — small generous acts that people do; sharing the last meal, putting a roof over people's head when they don't need, when there is really no call to. Those are the kind of small heroic things that make a big difference to a society.

That best portion of a good man’s life,
His little, nameless, unremembered, acts
Of kindness and of love.
