Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was a great leader who spent his entire adult life working for equality and justice in South Africa. Mandela has inspired people around the world to work non-violently for a better life.
Mandela was born on January 18, 1918, in South Africa. He was named Rolihlahla, which means "troublemaker" in the Xhosa language. Mandela's Grandfather was the ruler of the Thembu people and his father was a local Chief.
Mandela fought against apartheid, the laws that established Racial separation and oppression in South Africa. He was arrested for this and sentenced to life in prison in 1964. After spending 27 years in prison, he was released and was later elected President of South Africa.
Mandela served as president of South Africa from 1994 until 1999 (he refused a second term).

*NOTES :

*Bill Gates : World will deliver clean energy breakthrough within 15 years.
*1,3 Billion people don not have access to power.
*Cheap and clean energy to help the world's poorest families.

*Summary :
Bill gates has predicted researchers will “discover a clean energy breakthrough.

In Bill’s section of the letter, which is addressed to teenagers, the Microsoft founder and billionaire philanthropist argues it should be a development priority to deliver clean energy to the 1.3 billion people who do not have access to power.

He also stresses that the new power needs to be low carbon in order to tackle the risks presented by climate change. “If we really want to help the world’s poorest families, we need to find a way to get them cheap, clean energy,” he writes. “Cheap because everyone must be able to afford it. Clean because it must not emit any carbon dioxide - which is driving climate change.”

*Personal reflection :

In my opinion ,i think it's great to find new sources of energy,especially , cheap and clean energy.In this way they're not only finding a new energy source,they also are helping poor people to afford it, and saving the environment as well.
