I belong to an organization called the SGI International. Our Organization, contribute to peace, culture, and education within society. Safeguard fundamental human rights and eliminate discrimination. Respect and protect freedom of religion and religious expression. Work together with other religions to resolve issues affecting humanity. Respect cultural diversity and promote cultural exchange. Encourage the protection of nature and the environment. We strive for World Peace. World Peace is the sincere desire that every single person in the world be happy. The Recent exhibits sponsored by SGI-USA include: Treasuring the Future--- Children's Rights and Realities: An interactive look at the state of children's rights.
By Dr. Daisaku Ikeda, President, of Soka Gakkai International: "Peace exists in the hearts of people who love children. The oppression of children stands in opposition to peace. It is the responsability of adults to love children's uninhibited life force and encourage their limitless development into the future." It is the obligation of every person to insure that all children are raised in what the United Nations has called the "spirit of peace, dignity, tolerance, freedom, and equality."
When each of us takes responsability to create change, our efforts are like ripples in a pond that can radiate out to the world. What can you do ? * Please read the other articles relating to children and human rights on the Justice2008 page.
