61 year old University Dean in Botswana shares,
"Compassion is where people show sympathy.
For instance, when somebody has passed on and people come together to be a support, they show compassion through assisting in any way that they can. They do so by being there for you, providing a shoulder to cry on, and some people also give financial support.
Ka Setswana ke 'kutlwelobothlhoko'. (In our language we say 'kutwelobothloko' i.e.'compassion')"
