Project
"Love your neighbor" is an expression which almost every culture, religion, and, community has. In recent harsh times that we firmly came to face all over the world, civil wars, political and economic crises, climate change, refugee issues and finally Covid-19 pandemic told us our ties and borders. While some of us lose our cultural sensitivity in these processes, some of us support being more humble, sharing, and anti-racist movements in the world. All this state of “goodwill” starts with recognizing each other as an independent individual has rights and loving to share an atmosphere that we live.
