Wisdom for us and for the ages from a personal Superhero - Chief Seattle (1786-1866)...
Growing up in a Suquamish village along the Puget Sound, Seattle witnessed the arrival of the first white settlers in the Northwest. By the time he became Chief of his tribe, the early forays of trappers had given way to a steady stream of settlers. And so it fell to Chief Seattle to devise a strategy for dealing with these invaders. Rejecting violence and outright war with the settlers, this great Chief put his efforts and trust in peaceful dialogue. But as the intentions of the new arrivals became clear, his goal focused exclusively and simply on the survival of his people....and the rest is history.

All things share the same breath - the beast, the tree, the man. The air shares its spirit with all the life it supports.
How can you buy or sell the sky, the warmth of the land? The idea is strange to us. If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them? Every part of the Earth is sacred to my people. Every shining pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every clear and humming insect is holy in the memory and experience of my people. The perfumed flowers are our sisters, the deer, the horse, the great eagle, these are our brothers.
Will you teach your children what we have taught our children? That the earth is our mother? What befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth. This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all....One thing we know: our god is also your god. The earth is precious to him and to harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that we cannot eat money.
Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.
We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.
We are all children of the Great Spirit, we all belong to Mother Earth. Our planet is in great trouble and if we keep carrying old grudges and do not work together, we will all die.

Hey everyone! At Lightful, the organisation where I work, we are working on a new project that aims to build a platform for accessing jobs and learning resources for the impact sector, including mentoring, short courses etc. We’re at the beginning stages of user research, searching for people who are looking for impactful jobs looking to understand more about their learning needs. If you’d be interested in taking part, it would be very helpful for us if you could fill out this short survey. And if you know anyone who might be a good fit, please feel free to pass the link onto them as well! Thanks!
Bonsoir, j'espère apporter ma contribuer dans la discussion et surtout l'échange d'expérience dans le domaine.

A nation that destroys its soil destroys itself. Franklin D. Roosevelt
This land, this water, this air, this planet - this is our legacy to our young. Paul Tsongas

Conservation is a positive exercise of skill and insight, not merely a negative exercise of abstinence and caution. Aldo Leopold
The most important environmental issue is one that is rarely mentioned, and that is the lack of a conservation ethic in our culture....The ultimate test of man's conscience may be his willingness to sacrifice something today for future generations whose words of thanks will not be heard. Gaylord Nelson, Earth Day Founder
Conservation of land and conservation of people frequently go hand in hand. Eleanor Roosevelt

UNICEF: An Unstoppable Force for Change in the Lives of Our Precious Children Around the World...
Since the UN International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) was first established in the aftermath of World War II, these wonderful people have been at the frontlines of humanitarian crises, armed conflict and natural disasters. Undeterred by the scale of the crises, they have risen to every challenge, reimagining what is possible and responding by helping millions of children survive and thrive. Their on-the-ground expertise has reached more than 191 countries and territories, through committed partnerships and a passion for innovation (UNICEF, 2022).
For 75+ years, UNICEF has been working tirelessly for child rights and for the well-being of every child. UNICEF is the world’s largest provider of vaccines, and supports children's health and nutrition, safe water and sanitation, quality education and skill building, HIV prevention and treatment for mothers and babies, and the protection of children and adolescents from violence and exploitation.
The COVID-19 pandemic has raised concerns about the mental health of a generation of children. But the pandemic may represent the tip of a mental health iceberg – an iceberg we have ignored for far too long (UNICEF, 2021). The State of the World’s Children 2021 examines child, adolescent and caregiver mental health. It focuses on risks and protective factors at critical moments in the life course and delves into the social determinants that shape mental health and well-being. It calls for commitment, communication and action as part of a comprehensive approach to promote good mental health for every child, protect vulnerable children and care for children facing the greatest challenges (UNICEF, 2021). __ https://www.unicef.org/ https://www.unicef.org/about-unicef https://www.unicef.org/coronavirus/covid-19 https://www.unicef.org/where-we-work https://www.unicef.org/reports/state-worlds-children-2021 https://www.unicef.org/media/112536/file/HAC-2022-Overview.pdf https://www.unicef.org/sdgs https://www.voicesofyouth.org/ https://www.unicef.org/careers/explore-careers-unicef https://www.unicef.org/reports/state-global-education-crisis https://www.unicef.org/reports https://www.unicef.org/careers/
