Views
Desirous of a World without barriers to heights attainable in human endeavour, regardless of race, gender, religion, or/and disability presented by an individual. A World where there is no poverty, hunger, starvation, incurable illness and war. A World where Nations will relate with one another with openness, mutual trust, reciprocal respect and inter-relationships devoid of unfounded suspicions. A World where Humanity is embraced and shunning all forms of international interference in the governmental affairs of other Nations.
