Danellandia is a campaign for peace in many fields. This is a quick tour to learn about the different projects and about how you can help too.
Schools teach children many historical details. Why not leave out some details and teach them the basics to make this world a better place? Emphasizing basic values, like honesty, solidarity, respect for people, Nature care, tolerance and non-violence, would make it possible to avoid many of the historical failures being repeated.
Consumers are complaining about rising prices. Some foodstuffs cost ever more. Fuel prices are soaring. Health care becomes more expensive… Many producers are also complaining. Often they get minimum prices for their products or raw materials. Especially in less developed countries. Why are prices going up? Why are producers paid little for their produce? Who is behind this unfair economic system?
When are most leaders finally going to realize that they belong to the wrong family? The "war family" has been damaging our planet for ages. Through violence of all sorts it has dominated the "peace family". It has caused the destruction of millions of lives and of billions worth of Nature and infrastructure. Time to change mentality and to transform Earth into the home for all instead of into the home for a few - foreseeably having to fear that home might be destroyed as well.
What is beauty? Having the perfect looks? Wearing expensive latest-fashion clothes? Putting on ravishing make-up? Showing off gold, silver and diamonds? None of it all. True beauty is inner beauty.
What is beauty? Who decides what is beautiful? Marketing makes us believe we need to look beautiful the way marketing gurus want us to. They focus on the package or the outer beauty and hardly care about the inner beauty. Many people feel frustrated because they feel they do not reach the so-called ideal beauty standards imposed by marketing and society. Focusing a bit more on inner beauty and realizing that marketing has a lot to do with superficialities, can help to reduce that frustration.
Dharshie Wissah from Kakamega in Kenya took this picture and won the 2019 CIWEM environmental photographer of the year prize (category: water, equality and sustainability). It is a shocking image for most people around the world. The picture shows a young boy drinking dirty water due to the lack of water points in the area caused by deforestation. Lack of clean water greatly increases the risk of diarrhoeal diseases such as cholera, typhoid fever and dysentery, and other water-borne tropical diseases.
After a long dream about Nature, out of nowhere a blue teardrop fell onto my face... it was an appeal by Nature. I decided to become a keen defender of her.
Christmas 2020 will be different. No big parties in most countries. The coronavirus has made us more aware of what is important in life. Maybe we could reflect a bit more on that this Christmas? Maybe we can all be inspired to make changes for the better?
