“The Youth of a Nation are the trustees of posterity.”
Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881)
“The true development of human beings involves much more than mere economic growth. At its heart there must be a sense of empowerment and inner fulfilment. This alone will ensure that human and cultural values remain paramount. When this is achieved, culture and development will naturally coalesce to create an environment in which all are valued, and every kind of human potential can be realized.” Aung San Suu Kyi 1995, 18
