Peace-builders say….

While writing this article, I asked some friends about this issue. I received an overwhelming response. Due to shortage of space, I can only mention a few of them here

“The amazing youth of our world must organize and collaborate more locally and globally to become an unstoppable force for peace. That is how we can dismantle the current corrupt, unjust and destructive systems that lead to conflict, war, poverty, hopelessness, crime and terrorism, and divisions that is propagated by a few and only serves them while harming and destroying everyone else”

-Todd Shea,

Founder and CEO of Comprehensive Disaster Response Services (CDRS), who has been working in Pakistan since the Kashmir earthquake.

“Without peace you can not progress as a society. Minds that are clear of anger and fear can be filled with love and compassion. I live in the United States and for most of my life have lived in safe areas. I believe that even when people live in a state of peace it is their obligation to help their brothers and sisters in other nations enjoy that same feeling. It is important to recognize that all young people have unique skills that they can use to meet the needs of those who are not in a peaceful state. Young people must first listen to the voice of the community in need. Then they need to orient themselves with what is occurring in order to achieve meaningful action.”

-Dan Coviello,

UN Youth representative at TaruMitra

“The children and youth are the future in present. We all want a peaceful world, so should stand for Peace.”

-Christina Anderson,

Head Representative at The World Peace Committee

“Adults are so fixed in their ways and many are not open to change. The youth will take their place in the future so we must focus on them and unite them for our common purpose of PEACE.”

-Timothy Peace John-Baptiste,

Director, Time4WorldPeace

“The youth in majority of the population in our country and many countries. If they can come together and rise above through peace within them, they will then be able to give it to the rest, the rest will give it to others and our coming generations.”

-Bilal Masood

Founder, Crossing Borders

“We belong to each other. We must work for basic human rights, gender-equality, opportunities, for a world where no one is victimised and discriminated on the basis of color, races or religion.

– Syed Mahmood Kazmi
