Shanti Children's
Trust Mission Statement
- To turn the concept of
World Peace from a theoretical ideal into a practical, workable reality.
- To inspire the world's children
and young people to regard themselves as equal members of the only true
human race on the planet: humanity.
- To encourage in childrens'
and young peoples' hearts a sense of universal responsibility, so that
they may work not only for themselves, their families, communities and
nations but also for the benefit of all humanity.
- To encourage the world's
children and young people to relate to each other positively through
concentrating on the many things they have in common, instead of negatively
through the many differences they are taught they have: ethnic, religious,
cultural, ideological etc.
- To encourage children and
young people in the use of peaceful measures to resolve all conflict,
such as face to face talks instead of anger, hatred and violence.
- To enable children and young
people to find greater peace and happiness through learning to respect,
care for and ultimately love each other.
- To encourage the people
of the world to likewise embrace these causes for the sake of their
children, so that as each person's life draws to an end, they can ask
themselves the question: 'Have I left the world a better place by my
lifetime here, for my children, my grandchildren and great grandchildren
etc?' and the answer will be a resounding 'Yes!'.
