True peace must be anchored in justice and an unwavering commitment to universal rights for all humans, regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender, national origin or any other identity attribute.

God's dream is that you and I and all of us will realize that we are family, that we are made for togetherness, for goodness, and for compassion.
If you want peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies.
Inclusive, good-quality education is a foundation for dynamic and equitable societies.
