Lest We Forget
‘We are a product of our history—even the history we don’t like to think about.’
Veritas vos liberabit (The truth will set you free)
One of the most effective ways to respond to the inhumanity and injustices of the past is to ensure that the current and future generations do not forget what happened, that we address the harrowing loss of liberty and life, cruelty, the stollen opportunities, as well as the loss of potential forgone earnings and income, racism, xenophobia, inequality, poverty, unfair and abusive trade practices which are totally formulated in the interest of the former colonisers and slave-traders/holders..., and the deprivation that reverberates across centuries to present time. Carpe diem!

August 2023,78th Anniversary of the Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Remembering the lives that were lost and the cities that were destroyed in egregious acts against humanity
August 6, 1945 8:15am Hiroshima
August 9, 1945 11.02am Nagasaki
In memory of the people who perished in the 1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I ask all the friends of the Globalisation for the Common Good Initiative to hold a one-minute silent prayer and to light a candle to remember the victims and to pray for the realisation of lasting world peace, free from the weapons of mass destruction.

We need the wisdom of the indigenous communities to build a better world
GCGI Commemorates and Celebrates International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, their Wisdom, Culture and Spirit
"We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love… and then we return home”. Australian Aboriginal proverb
"Seek wisdom, not knowledge. Knowledge is of the past, Wisdom is of the future”. Lumbee proverb
"May the guiding voice of Mother Earth, representing all beings of all directions’ expanse of earth, water, air, fire, and space, grant us the nourishment of body, mind, heart, and spirit to serve Her well. May we vow to honor, respect, and tend to the Lands of our Ancestors and the welcoming Lands we call home. May we acknowledge the beings in these lands as Our Kin. May we acknowledge and deeply bow to the rightful stewards of these Lands and wholeheartedly recognize our human and other-than-human relatives displaced and dispossessed of homes and identities. May we become the flourishing garden for all to call home."- Yuria Celidwen
