SDG 01 - No Poverty: Year 05

The Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde – UN Book Club (SDG1: No Poverty)

High above a city stands a gilded statue of the Happy Prince and a swallow who both witness the suffering, injustice and poverty of the people below. At the behest of the Happy Prince, the swallow begins to strip the statue of its jewels and gold leaf to give to the city’s poor. A poignant story by Oscar Wilde about compassion, charity, and selflessness.
