Utveksling for utvikling/ Greetings on UN-day

I greet you all noble men and women, vibrant young people and the hope for tomorrow the Children.
The two weeks we lived among you in your homes and school community one thing that will never rubbed from our hearts are the fingerprints that you placed in our lives. Each day we shared with you we were challenged inwardly and reflected on several issues.
Such special programs as these challenge us to thoughtfully think of the choices we make as people and to truly understand how inter-related our lives are. Above all else the effects of our choices on other people in the world. This all we all have so we are in this together.
During our interactions in this program together with fellow youths (Norwegians)
We reasserted the universal values of tolerance, mutual respect and human dignity.  And we recognized the progress we have made together at the end of it all. 

But above all, UN Day is a day on which we resolve to do more.  More to make this world a better place. Upholding peace and Justice for all.
The time we were in your country, that was a lifetime Journey of learning and listening from each other, Life is more meaning when we find a mutual ground to set the table for effective dialogue.
Norwegians I salute you for all the tremendous work you are doing around the world to better the lives of millions of people. You have passed on the same zeal to the next generation. Your passion for Humanity is in encouraged us to make a difference too in our world. Together we make the difference.
