Children are the Seeds for Peace

Children are the Seeds for Peace“Children are like a pot of flowers. If you’ll give them proper attention, they’ll grow up properly; but if you’ll give them lack of attention or extreme care, they’ll be destroyed.” Munir Moosa Sewani
(Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan)

Children are truly seeds for peace and prosperity, if they are nurtured and given the light of hope and the water of indifference, then they can be the leaders of tomorrow. Our biggest gift to the world can be to educated the children of the world and ensure they are given the tools needed to be the leaders of tomorrow, for which to bring peace and prosperity to the children of tomorrow.
