For us, it has been a year of postponements, cancellations and adaptation, for most, a year of lockdowns and social distancing, and for many, it has been a year of pain, loss and isolation. But let us not call it a year to forget, but a year to remember and to learn from.
Let us remember the times of togetherness, during difficult circumstances, where people came together, supported one another and stood up for what is right.
Let us celebrate the increased awareness, empathy and understanding among our global community, as well as the many ways in which we have managed to become better connected.
And most of all, let us move into the New Year with a new outlook, one filled with new opportunities and renewed hope that we may create a new and better ‘normal’.
Uncertainty remains and there will be more challenges ahead, but these are things that we will face, and overcome, together.
“We shall walk together of this path of life, for all things are part of the universe and connected with each other.”
Dr. Maria Montessori
