International Mother Language Day

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!
