When Mohandas Gandhi is thrown off a train one day, it marks the
beginning of a journey. A journey to put an end to the unfair treatment
of Indian people in South Africa. A journey to teach everyone that you
can change the world without using violence. A journey to make the
world a better place. A long journey that begins with one small word:
No.
Wanneer Mohandas Gandhi eendag van 'n trein afgegooi word, is dit die
begin van 'n reis. 'n Reis om 'n einde te maak aan die onregverdige
behandeling van Indirs in Suid-Afrika. 'n Reis om almal te leer dat jy
die wreld kan verander sonder om geweld te gebruik. 'n Reis om die
wreld 'n beter plek te maak. ’n Lang reis wat begin met een klein
woordjie: Nee
