Equal opportunity of the means of Existence

Every human being has the right to live; they have a right to rest, and to a certain amount of well-being. As a rich man is able to live in his palace surrounded by luxury and the greatest comfort, so should a poor man be able to have the necessaries of life. Nobody should die of hunger; everybody should have sufficient clothing; one man should not live in excess while another has no possible means of existence.

Let us try with all the strength we have to bring about happier conditions, so that no single soul may be destitute.

('Abdu'l-Bahá: Paris Talks, Pages: 131-132)

Several newspapers reported extensively on the jubilee, among them "The Nation" monthly magazine and the "Weekend Observer," which published articles about the Bahá'í Faith on four weekends. Radio Swaziland broadcast several talks on the Faith, both in English and the local language, SiSwati.

Guests received a color booklet produced for the jubilee. It depicts the major events in the history of the Swaziland Bahá'í community and tells of the service of the local Bahá'ís assisted by many traveling teachers from a variety of countries, as well as those Bahá'ís who settled in the country. It also refers to visits by many distinguished Bahá'ís, among them Madame Ruhiyyih Rabbani and other Hands of the Cause, including Collis Featherstone, Leroy Ioas, Rahmatu'llah Muhajir, Adelbert Muhlschlegel, Enoch Olinga, John Robarts, and William Sears.
