Who do you consider as the Greatest Humanitarian in your lifetime and why?

This person can be someone who is dead or alive who has lived during your lifetime. You can also consider family members and friends of yours as great humanitarians if you choose to.

The person I consider as the greatest humanitarian in my lifetime is Paul Rusesabagina, the actually hotel manager of Hotel Rwanda Paul Rusesabagina (played by Don Cheadle). I consider Rusesabagina as a great humanitarian because he put his job on the line to help save the lives of other Rwandans during the Rwandan Genocide in 1994 by keeping the refugees at the Hotel des Mille Collines. Rusesabagina had little negotian skills and no weapon and yet was able to save over 1,200 lives.

Mother Theresa. Her unselfish humanitarian efforts were worldwide for decades. Mother Teresa's work has been recognised and acclaimed throughout the world and she has received a number of awards and distinctions, including the Pope John XXIII Peace Prize (1971) and the Nehru Prize for her promotion of international peace and understanding (1972). She also received the Balzan Prize (1979) and the Templeton and Magsaysay awards.
