Suffering

The disturbing person's message to interpret

When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That’s the message he is sending.”

To increase the quality of life

Education is the single most powerful means to improve the quality of life, the single most powerful weapon against poverty and intolerance.

Education builds a culture of peace;it empowers human beings, both young and adult, to be effective in their chosen sphere of activity ... Education, in its essence, opens doors to both personal and social development."
