A Worldwide Call to Oneness About this event: A CELEBRATION OF ONENESS
Everyone in the world can join the CELEBRATION OF ONENESS.

All responses will be printed and assembled into a beautiful, artistic display for all to see at the event. Participants at the event will have the opportunity to make their own additions to the piece. The final product will be revealed to the world on December 12th on the website www.celebrationofoneness.com. All email responses should include: 1) Answer to "What does ONENESS mean to you?" in 50 words or less, 2) Translation of the answer (if not in English originally), 3) Name, City, State/Province, and Country of Sender.

TOGETHERNESS IN YOUTH: A fundamental factor in our success Have you ever asked yourself how ants can kill something larger than itself and proceed ahead to carry. How ants build huge and tall anthill which eventually becomes difficult for bulldozer to uproot? I believe it knows it doesn’t have to be in a group to accomplish what it wants. For this, the ant has gained much credibility in both human and the other organisms’ Diasporas as a hard working social group. Well let’s fit this into our context as youth. Coming together as the youth is one of the best steps to tackle the issues that affect our future. It is upon ourselves, if indeed we need to be heard and seen as serious group who can be entrusted with leadership, to show that indeed we are fit and up to the task. This however is not as smooth a path as one would imagine. My experience as event organizer in many occasions in my college is that you can start from nothing to go a head and achieve a great thing in your plans. What is required is just simply confidence in yourself and those who are ready to support you. I have had to act with my own resources to ensure successful completion of many events. The good thing is that at the end of the day, one relaxes quite sure that he/she has made a difference in the world. As the saying goes, “think globally and act locally” we as the youth should look for ways in which we can make an impact on global issues. Some once said to me when I was organizing for a tree planting event some time this year to commemorate the world environment day, “…why do you organize this event and you know that we don’t have enough members in the club to ensure a successful tree planting?” my answer was simple, “the two of us can do it. We don’t need a crowed to feel secure. Let others join us on the way by first showing them what we can do the two of us, and indeed we eventually got a bus load of students who joined us to the tree planting event.” this show that we do not have to be four people or more to have a successful turning around of the ills that enormously affect the youth and the world at large or even to conduct business to bring change; it takes a speck of salt to build a mountain. Let’s therefore join hands however few we may be and get to change our environment and the world. I am sure we shall never sink when we are together but will always float like the water lilies and the Nile cabbages displaying our evergreen colors for the world to see. Cheers comrades!
