When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful.

We want schools and education for every child’s bright future. We will continue our journey to our destination of peace and education for everyone.

Learning from the experiences of our ancestors, let us together create knowledge for all that benefits all.

Child slavery is a crime against humanity. Humanity itself is at stake here. A lot of work still remains, but I will see the end of child labor in my lifetime.

Economic growth and human development need to go hand in hand. Human values need to be advocated vigorously.

From my own experience, I want to say that you should follow your heart, and the mind will follow you. Believe in yourself, and you will create miracles.

Today it is time for every child to have a right to life, right to freedom, right to health, right to education, safety, the right to dignity, right to equality, and right to peace.

If not now, then when? If not you, then who? If we are able to answer these fundamental questions, then perhaps we can wipe away the blot of human slavery.

Every single minute matters, every single child matters, every single childhood matters.

Every child matters. If we fail our children, we are bound to fail our present, our future, faith, cultures, and civilisations as well.
