Former Liberian Vice President, Joseph Boakai has revealed his undying love for helping the less privileged in the society and providing them with opportunities for a better life.

He made the revelation in a recent chat with CEOAfrica correspondent in Liberia. The elder statesman expressed believe that the effects of the various societal ills can be cushioned if we all contribute some measure of kindness to people around us especially the less privilege in the society.

Boakai said, "I don't consider myself a politician, my life has always been about helping to build lives, to provide opportunities for people and I have been doing this for years. I have provided medical services, medical reliefs, books and the likes. Every time that I see something that is wrong with our society that I know I can help out, that has been my desire.

"People believe that when you leave government that is the end, but I am doing what I have always wanted to do. In agriculture which is also one of my passions, I have gone round and seen women struggling to support their families, they produce but are limited in capacity, and I say to myself, it is possible for these people to make a decent livelihood. We have very talented youths, but do they have the opportunities to showcase their talents to the world?"

He added that he has given his life to pursue these passions, to work with people under the umbrella of his foundation to cater to the needs of the less privileged.
