Including two world wars, mankind has been producing large number of victims by causing number of wars. And at the end we always swear, "Never to start another war again." Although with this resolution, and a hope for the better society, today, we still engage in many wars utilizing so-called state-of-the-art modern weapons. Therefore, we must recall, once again, that sworn we made, and start thinking, Global Peace. This may well be the most challenging assignment for a human kind. However, we must step forward, and for me, this first step is to aid and support child victims of the war. Also, by teaching a misery of war to children and adolescents, leaders of our next generation, I am hoping to assist in building a peaceful future.
