Newsletter No9/2022 - Staying optimistic in uncertain times through building new bridges and common values in a world for everybody
Author: Obiora Ike, Executive Director
People everywhere want a better world it seems; one in which what is good in us is more realised. There is a yearning and cry from children, youth, and adults on all continents for a world for everybody, where love and acceptance are possible.
Our differences are many. But what unites humanity is more than what may ever divide or plunge humankind into darkness. With ethics and values, humanity has a new dawn. It begins with education.
