Arigatou International - All for Children

All for Children sums up our hopes and dreams and the partnerships we seek to build. All that we do, we do for children… and we work at it with all of our heart, because children deserve nothing less. We believe that all people share in a universal calling to care for all the children of our world, so all of the tools and approaches we offer are designed to bring people together—in all their wonderous diversity—to build a better world for children.

Today is International Day of #Peace 🕊!

As we prepare to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, let us remember those leaving in violent-torn areas, in poverty and oppression. Everyone has a right to peace and we must ensure the achievement of this through the Sustainable Development Goals on Transforming our World through Peace and Sustainable Development.

We must build understanding towards one another, we must try to know each other better, we must coexist!

"Poverty, violent conflicts and climate change are some of the pressing challenges affecting humanity today. Fortunately, we do have the moral spiritual social resources to address these challenges; and we need to include the youth and children in the overall development of our society. Youth and children have a major role in spearheading and directing the nation towards peace building and sustainable development." – Mustafa Y Ali, Secretary General, Global Network of Religions for Children (GNRC).

Efforts must be taken to make youth and children resilient to violent extremism in the media by strengthening their critical thinking, educating them on safe internet use, enhancing their capacities to detect risks and reject violent extremists' narratives.
