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.

As we join our sister initiative, Ethics Education for Children - Arigatou International, in celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the Learning to Live Together (LTLT) Programme, let us recognize the efforts of all those who contributed to making a better world for children including youth, children, facilitators, trainers and organizations to the programme.

LTLT approaches the issue of ethics education from the perspectives of intercultural and interfaith learning, human rights and quality education, where ethics and values are nurtured and where children are given the space to develop their innate potential for spirituality.

"It is our duty as faith leaders to guide and transform the hearts of our followers to respect the sacredness of human life, especially the lives of children." - H.E.

Any form of torture is impermissible, it must be stopped! It is a crime under the international law. It is the role of Governments to commit to supporting the victims of torture by ratifying the United Nations' Convention Against Torture.
