    I was thinking about this quote tonight

    Each one, reach one. Each one, teach one. Until all are taught.

    from Wikipedia
    The phrase originated in the United States during slavery, when Africans were denied education, including learning to read. Many if not most enslaved people were kept in a state of ignorance about anything beyond their immediate circumstances which were under control of owners, the law makers and authorities. When an enslaved person learned or was taught to read, it became his duty to teach someone else, spawning the phrase "Each one teach one".[citation needed]

    Many of the political prisoners on Robben Island, South Africa held during apartheid (1948-1991) were illiterate. Their mail was highly censored and reading materials limited. The inmates used the term, "each one, teach one" as a battle cry to ensure everyone in the movement was educated.

    In the first half of the 20th century, the phrase was applied to the work of a Christian missionary, Dr. Frank Laubach, who utilized the concept to help address poverty and illiteracy in the Philippines. Many sources cite Dr. Laubach as creating the saying, but many others believe that he simply used it in order to advance the cause of ending illiteracy in the world.[1]

    In the 1996 novel Push by Sapphire and the 2009 movie based on it, Precious, the expression is used as the name of an alternative school that the principal character is attending after being transferred out from public school.

    The phrase has also been adopted by the Delancey Street Foundation, a nonprofit organization based in San Francisco that provides residential rehabilitation services and vocational training for people with history of substance abuse or criminal convictions. The organization incorporates the "each one, teach one" principle by having each client act as a mentor to successive clients in academic subjects and trades varying from masonry to catering.


    We can all remember and think of one person who's made a huge impact on our lives, right?
    And we'll probably remember this person for life. Whether it's someone who raised you, someone who helped you out during a tough point in your life. Or someone who was always there for you or taught you something important in your life. I was just reflecting and was thinking how that's all it takes. We can't save everybody, but each one has the potential to reach one. If we all did this think of the changes it would bring for the best.
    We can't help everyone
    Can't save everyone
    We can't get through to everyone, but there will be one person no doubt and that's more than enough.

    So next time you feel hopeless because you can't save all around you, just remember the one person you could. Or the person you did help, the person you taught, guided and helped in their time of need.
