    Education is and always has been fundamental, a means of guiding and informing us on how to go about life, how to navigate the complexities of living in a vast world of uncertainty. Education means communication, collaboration, self-realization, opportunity. How can we give rise to our global community without a knowing of the infinite intersections that make up our shared universe? Education is a right to life, a right to love, a right to be a sovereign being in an ever-changing, ever-significant world.

    How absurd that the right to life, the notion of survival is not a given. Food, shelter, safety/security, education, none of which are cemented in the global wellbeing. This is universal. We can come together in pursuit of these inextricable facets of life and being.
