On International Mother Language Day, ESCWA celebrated the diversity of languages sending a message of hope from a land in pain refusing but to survive.
ESCWA staff delivered, in their mother languages, this message of hope:
With roots that inform
Cultures that form
Promises to perform
Wealth of memories
Break boundaries
Countless expressions
Emotions, impressions
Will, word, action
The magic of sounds
Say it loud
One syllable,
It is profound
Say it, write it,
Make it resound!
On a land in pain,
Life is here to gain
Beauty to heal
Dream to come real
Humanity is a word
Make it heard!
Message of hope!
