A Letter of Hope

There is a growing optimism the we will soon acknowledge our interdependence on a safe future for all and that we will work collectively to change the future to one that is safe for those we love. Me and mine, you and yours, them and theirs.

This is my Letter of Hope for that future as we enter the year 2020. Just like the only Planet we share; we share the year to come. Each of us can join in hope with the children rising up around the world with a plea to make a future safe for them. As a global collective and with global voices.

“Let us raise a voice of HOPE and celebrate the way we’ve come together”

"Levons la voix de l’ESPOIR et célébrons la manière dont nous nous sommes réunis"

"Alcemos una voz de ESPERANZA y celebremos la forma en que nos hemos unido"

"دعنا نرفع صوت الأمل ونحتفل بالطريقة التي اجتمعنا بها"

“讓我們發出希望的聲音,慶祝我們在一起的方式”

"Dajmo glas nadi i proslavimo način na koji smo se okupili."

"Ας σηκώσουμε μια φωνή Ελπίδας και να γιορτάσουμε τον τρόπο που έχουμε συναντήσει"

"Laten we een stem van HOOP verheffen en de manier vieren waarop we samen zijn gekomen"

"E hoʻāla kākou i ka leo o ka HOPE a e hauʻoli i ke ʻano o kā mākou hui ʻana"

"בואו נרים קול של HOPE ונחגוג את הדרך בה אנו נפגשים"

"हम HOPE की आवाज उठाएं और जिस तरह से हम साथ आए हैं उसे मनाएं"

"Hadd emeljük fel a HOPE hangját, és ünnepeljük az összejövetel módját"

"Mari kita angkat suara HARAPAN dan rayakan cara kita berkumpul"

"Alziamo la voce di SPERANZA e celebriamo il modo in cui ci siamo riuniti"

「HOPEの声を上げて、私たちが一緒になった方法を祝いましょう」

"HOPE의 목소리를 높이고 함께하는 방식을 축하합시다"

"Marilah kita menaikkan suara HOPE dan meraikan cara kita bersama"

"Kia whakaarahia te reo o te KARO ka whakanui i te huarahi e huihui ana tatou"

«Давайте поднимем голос НАДЕЖДЫ и отметим, как мы собрались вместе»

“Togaidh sinn guth HOPE agus comharraich sinn mar a thàinig sinn còmhla”

“ ให้เราเปล่งเสียง HOPE และเฉลิมฉลองวิธีที่เราได้มาด้วยกัน”

“UMUT'un bir sesini yükseltelim ve bir araya gelme şeklimizi kutlayalım”

Hãy để chúng tôi nói lên tiếng nói của HY VỌNG và ăn mừng cách chúng tôi kết hợp với nhau

“Gadewch inni godi llais HOPE a dathlu'r ffordd rydyn ni wedi dod at ein gilydd”
