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!'.
