Together We Can! This year our mission for empowering the underprivileged women has shown some beautiful results. Through livelihood training, sustainable agriculture, education and rehabilitation we have moved a few steps towards the sustainable goals and we know there are miles to go. But it is surprising that while in this era of science and advancement people are striving to reach the sustainable development goals, why simultaneously our other counterparts are fighting and killing others with violence and brutality, pulling human civilization backwards by means of irrational insane destructions of the world. The answer to this question is yet to be found.

In the face of greed, corruption and violence, we need humanity, love and tolerance. We need to be insistent to express our conviction for peace and love; we need to be vocal to express our anguish against the insanity of war and violence. This is extremely urgent for saving the world, the trees, the birds, our children and ourselves. It is beautiful to find young voices raised together against the hegemony of brutality. That is the ray of hope. Again and again we need to utter that Let us come together and put more effort with conviction with passion and empathy to stop violence, to grow together.
