Dr. Jane Goodall spoke in South LA to hundreds of elementary school kids.
"I feel passionate about alleviating poverty. I get shocked when I go to a big city and you go through all the lush streets with trees and gardens, and then you get to an area where it's all just streets and dirt and cement and smoke," Goodall said. "It makes me angry. Nobody deserves that.
""When I grew up, we had very, very little money and my friends went to university and I couldn't afford it. I had to do secretarial," she said. "And then when I got this invitation to Africa, I became a waitress to save up the money.""Make a difference every single day and they get to choose what sort of difference you make," Goodall said.
