QUOTES

preventing the conflicts of tomorrow means changing the mind-set of youth today.

In a disparate world, children are a unifying force capable of bringing us all together in support of a common ethic.

it is clear that increasingly, children are targets, not incidental casualties, of armed conflict.

In some countries, conflicts have raged for so long that children have grown into adults without ever knowing peace.

It is the meaning of what my life has been since youth,to try to fight for the dignity and the freedom of my own people

Therefore my challenge to each of you ... is that you ask yourself what you can do to make a difference. And then take that action, no matter how large or how small. For our children have a right to peace.
