Greetings for a new year of action, progress, and hope! Below is a heartfelt message from lawyer, journalist, “peaceful warrior” and our BRIDGE Project Lead in Afghanistan, Mina (a pseudonym):
For the new year, I wish for a global transformation.
I wish that there will be no war anywhere in the world in the coming year.
Neither in Afghanistan, nor in Palestine, nor in Israel, nor in Ukraine, nor in any other country should the sound of guns, tanks and bombs be heard.
I wish all the people of the world to live in health.
I wish everyone, wherever they are, to breathe happiness and peace like oxygen every moment.
I wish that no mother sheds tears when parting with the death of her child.
No child should experience motherlessness and fatherlessness.
No child anywhere in the world dies of hunger and lack of health care access.
I wish that in the new year the women and girls of my country will also go to school and study, live and be free.
I wish Freedom, peace and happiness for people in my country and all over the world.
I wish that no human being becomes a victim of extremism.
I wish for all the good things that they have been waiting for, for years to happen.
I wish we human beings appreciate each other more.
I wish that in the coming year people will renew their commitments to unite and make the world a better place to live for people now and in the future.
Happy 2024.
Happy New Year to everyone.
