The children were excited to share their artwork with the visiting women.

 

The dream of peace cannot be achieved without women.

Women are a pivotal part of how humanity has formed. They are our precious mothers, who bring life into the world. They are wives, sisters, and daughter. The innate goodness of the original nature and experience of women is crucial for building peace on all levels, starting with the home.

Women bring to the table unique perspectives and approaches to problem solving and solution building. Their exceptional qualities should be celebrated and cultivated.

Women constitute more than half the world’s population. For humankind to truly become “One Family Under God” the innate, God-given dignity and value of the daughters of God must be recognized and respected.

As we celebrate International Women’s Day, on March 8th, let us honor the women who have made tremendous contributions throughout history and in our own lives.
