There is no higher religion than human service. To work for the common good is the greatest creed. ''The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.''- Mahatma Gandhi. Life's most persistent and urgent question is, What are you doing for others?
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well. Service to humanity is service to God. Let the love and light of the Kingdom radiate through you until all who look upon you shall be illumined by its reflection. Be as stars, brilliant and sparkling in the loftiness of their heavenly station.
If you’re in the luckiest one per cent of humanity, you owe it to the rest of humanity to think about the other 99 per cent. Every effort to make society sensitive to the importance of the family is a great service to humanity.
No one is born a good citizen; no nation is born a democracy. Rather, both are processes that continue to evolve over a lifetime.
Young people must be included from birth. A society that cuts off from its youth suffers its lifeline. "Young people should be at the forefront of global change and innovation. Empowered, they can be key agents for development and peace. If, however, they are left on society's margins, all of us will be impoverished. Let us ensure that all young people have every opportunity to participate fully in the lives of their societies." -Kofi Annan.
Under your shoulders
Dear young people of the entire world, weigh the responsibility to transform tomorrow's world into a society where peace, harmony and fraternity reign. We have a powerful potential in our youth and we must have the courage to change old ideas and practices so that we may direct their power toward good ends. Every one can be great because everyone can serve.
Half of the global wealth is owned by only 6 people whereas there are over 7 billion people worldwide! This is the highest level of capitalism, inhuman and self-centredness of the century!
Kelma Foundation is in the forefront and long run to ensure that voice for Boy Children is listened to, supported and their life-affecting drawbacks addressed with seriousness and urgency they deserve regardless of age. Boy childrens' grievances are neither listened to, taken seriously or acted upon by most identities in the society unlike those of girl children. We urge all individuals, well-wishers, philanthropists, institutions, organisations and governments whether county or national with similar burning enthusiasm to rescue, restore, rehabilitate and empower Boy Children with viable life skills to thrive and live a thrilling life.
Tell a friend to tell another friend. If everyone is moving in the same direction, then success takes care of itself. Your moral, material and spiritual support is of great importance to make this lives-transforming initiative a success.
