In this case the 'wealth' is an education. Babar Ali is a 16-year-old student in an extremely poor area of West Bengal, India. Although Ali comes from a typical, poor family in the village of Murshidabad, he is able to go to school. Many of his contemporaries cannot, as they have to work. Every day after school Ali teaches his friends and others what he has learned in school that day. He has been doing this since he was 9. Today, he has ten teachers at his 'school'. 800 students attend the classes.
Talk about changing the world by helping your fellowman! Ali is a lesson for all of us.
