“Nelson Mandela was a great inspiration for the world and for me personally because of my work in peace-building through dialogue during the past twelve years. He inspired by example: forgiveness and reconciliation, which is part of what I do with people of diverse backgrounds in an attempt to build on the commonality of human beings.”
President Salwa Kader on Nelson Mandela in a Book of Condolence at the Permanent Mission of South Africa to the United Nations.

Sustainable #development is key to not only ensuring lasting #peace, but also to realizing a better world. We understand this and work on a grass-roots level with key players in the social, economical, and environmental aspects of development. We’ve organized educational conferences for youth, discussed the economic challenges facing vulnerable women, and advocated for bearable farming techniques for more equal food distribution. http://ow.ly/i/3YU5D
