A 100 years ago, WWI began. Let us learn from the mistakes of yesterday. As children of today are leaders and heroes of tomorrow, let us build for peace. In the words of the late scholar Forest E. Witcraft, “A 100 years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove. But the world may be different, because I was important in the life of a child”.
