1. BECOMING ONE
WITH THE WORLD

2. “We are the first
generation in history
from whom nature
needs fewer babies
and more wisdom.”

3. BECOME ONE
In unity we experience
true connection, feel
empathy and learn of love
with recognition of
oneself in the other

4. How can we put this in to practice and look beyond
our doorstep on to the world?

5. CHILDREN.
OUR FUTURE.

children in developing
countries, about 600
million, live on less than
US $1 a day.

6. 22,000 children
die each day due
to conditions of
poverty.
Every 10 seconds,
a child dies from
hunger-related
diseases.

7. 66 million primary
school-age children
attend classes
hungry across the
developing world.

8. An education is a child’s strongest barrier
against poverty, especially for girls.

9. The World is shaped
by our common
aspirations and it is
through our everyday
actions that we
provide tacit approval
to our reality.

10. “The problem with the
world is that we are not
in our right minds.”
Gandhi

ignorance
selfishness
we created a

To work together to
make a difference.
To bring consciousness
in to our actions.
To start a new
conversation.

SEE IN THE WORLD.
