This past week humans of NY stated a journey around the globe. It is a 50 days trip partnered with the UN. In these 50 days they will visit 10 countries. The purpose of this tour is to raise awareness for millennium development goals. In addition, it will help inspire and help people develop a global perspective. There are so many challenges we all need to tackle together. These are a few of my favorites so far.
"I want to be a pilot so I can fly everywhere" (Dhana, Jordan)
"What happened to your arm?" "I Was walking down the stairs and looking at the stars." (Amman, Jordan)
"She always dreams about the bombs." (Erbil, Iraq)
"Swimming is the greatest thing in life. If we have time, we swim seven times per day." (Kalak, Iraq)
"My parents were captured when I was sixteen. They both died in prison."
"What do you remember about the day they were taken?"
"I'm sorry. I don't think I can do this. Can we stop?" (Shaqlawa, Iraq)
We can learn from everyone around us everyday.
