“You Can Be the Power of Change”

By Luphil

This month’s newsletter of the Aquarian Age Community, New Jersey, gave a quote of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon from his remarks at a High-Level Meeting on Youth, 27 July 2011 in New York:

“There is always the power of the individual who can make change, who can make a great difference.
All of you — each and every one of you — can be the power of change….
There is no greater pursuit, no more noble calling, than advancing human well-being and the global common good….
And remember: by helping others to lift themselves, we in turn lift ourselves. We too, are empowered.”

UN recently chose as its theme for the 25th Anniversary of the first International Year of Youth on 12 August to be: “Change Your World.” They have a campaign for collecting ideas on Facebook.
