“Despite
the threat of global terror hanging over all of
us, there is only one path: to pursue the Millennium
Development Goals with fresh resolve –confronting
violence, bigotry and hatred with the same determination
that we attack the causes from which they spring
– conflict, ignorance, poverty and disease. The
world we seek, where every child can grow to adulthood
in health, peace and dignity – in short, aworld
fit for children – has remained a dream for more
years than we can count. But we at UNICEF are convinced
that working together with committed partners, and
with an appropriate plan of action and a commitment
to resources, we can make that dream a reality for
each and every child on earth.”

Carol
Bellamy

Dialogue
is a non-confrontational communication, where both

The
nations must be organized internationally and induced

All
married couples should learn the art of battle as they should
learn the art of making love.
Good battle is objective and honest - never vicious or cruel.
Good battle is healthy and constructive, and brings to a
marriage the principles of equal partnership.

children. We have to be more than just observers of

if we act immediately, the world is doomed to lose many

crisis and for forging new partnerships within the international
community.
-- Achim Steiner, IUCN Director General |

"I've
seen miracles in post-war situations, in famines,
in places of horrendous brutal subjugation and oppression,
when women step forward and play their rightful
role in co-equal partnership with men. It's not
the answer all by itself, but it is a powerful and
incredibly effective step to give women their rightful
role and voice and the resources to back it up."
-- Lynne

a partnership in the creation of the Universe that
keeps them responsible and cheerful.

I've
been supportive of the idea of government partnership
with faith-based organizations and other non-profit
organizations to do the work of fighting poverty.
We've done it for years, overseas and here. I think
it needs to be done.
