Hopes of the Children

I hope you will grant my wish to pursue my studies until college.There are many children who want to finish their education. I pray that you can grant my dream in life and help us in our needs in school. I wish that you can become the bridge for the fulfillment of our dreams so that our lives will prosper. You are my inspiration to fulfill this dream.

Bringing together the powerful and aspiring future leaders

Building peace takes a generation

“Peace is a way of life. When there is no peace, we will have a… crisis in our country and many people become very poor. Our president will hardly arrange our problems. When our problem can’t be solved, we will give it to the next generation.”
