Under the snow, the new year is forming. The deep processes of seeds in the Earth that are getting ready to bloom in Spring, that’s the vibe at A World of Neighbours too. Nobody is sitting still, ideas are forming into plans and plans are turning into reality. The Home Group Sessions, AWoN’s backbone, have ended with the year, they are now being evaluated and the Spring Series is planned. We have dates for the Annual Summit in Porto this summer, we are meeting in Brussels in April while YAWoN (Young A World of Neighbours) is gearing up for the next part of their 12-month program and will come out of it with a full blown magazine calling decision-makers to action.
Meanwhile the news is disastrous. Be it Congo, Sudan, the United States, Ukraine, Palestine, Syria – it’s the people that suffer, and we are called and drawn into that suffering with the limited abilities we have. To share the pain, to lend a hand, to speak truth to power and love to those in need. To do what we can, to keep doing what’s needed. Every day, with even more love. And if you run out, don’t hesitate to reach out to each other. Let’s have each other’s back. Beautiful opportunities to do just that are happening in the new year.
