One of the wisest people on the planet is under 5 feet tall and under 10 years old.\u00a0 Although his birth name is Robby, he is better known worldwide as “Kid President”. A few things that are amazing about this young man:\u00a0\u00a0although he has what is commonly known as Brittle Bone disease which has caused over 7o breaks since birth; not only does he keep on keepin’ on, but he\u00a0lives an active life that includes running and dancing.\u00a0 He is also\u00a0clever and outspoken about all kinds of things, most especially ways to make the world a better place.<\/p>\n

I’ve written about him before, but love to hear about new things he is up to. I just watched a brief You Tube video that his brother in-law Brad shot for Soul Pancake which is \u00a0Rainn Wilson’s creative baby. In it, Robby tells us about World Humanitarian Day which is coming up this Monday 8\/19\/2013.<\/p>\n

\"mfwiley:<\/p>\n<p>28:<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery year\u00a0 on August 19th we mark World Humanitarian Day in honour of aid workers, who have\u00a0 lost their lives in the line of duty. We commemorate their sacrifice and\u00a0 reaffirm our commitment to the lifesaving work that humanitarians carry out\u00a0 around the world every day, often in difficult and dangerous circumstances, where\u00a0 others cannot or do not want to go. This\u00a0 year our World Humanitarian Day campaign is calling on people to answer a\u00a0 question: \u2018What do you think the world needs more of?”-Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon<\/p>\n

Hmm….I have a long list, which includes<\/p>\n

Love<\/p>\n

A sense of belonging to a global family<\/p>\n

Healthy food and water<\/p>\n

Safety<\/p>\n

Shelter<\/p>\n

Compassion<\/p>\n

Sustainability<\/p>\n

Freedom from violence<\/p>\n

A safe way to express emotions<\/p>\n

Rec0gnition of unique gifts and talents<\/p>\n

Breaking the cycle of abuse<\/p>\n

Respect for the planet<\/p>\n

Recovery from addiction<\/p>\n

Honoring each other<\/p>\n

Forgiveness<\/p>\n

Healing<\/p>\n

Bliss<\/p>\n

I agree with Kid President that the world needs more laughter and HUGS!<\/p>\n
