\"2015<\/a><\/p>\n

“Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.” – Oprah Winfrey<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

2014 has been a difficult year. <\/p>\n

From the Ebola breakout \u2013 to the Pakistani school massacre \u2013 to the Ferguson protests, the year will be partially defined by fear, conflict and frustration. Every part of the world has been affected by the darkness, which seemed to hover like a thick fog.<\/p>\n

But just like each new day offers a second chance; the New Year gives the World the opportunity to do better in 2015<\/strong>. If I could set the goals for the World to achieve in 2015, here\u2019s what would be on my list:<\/p>\n

1.\tNo more wars<\/strong>. There should be a real intent to support real peace keeping efforts and politically raise issues through effective channels. There should peaceful resolutions should be put forward.
\n
\n2.\tProtection of forests, oceans and rivers<\/strong>. The Earth\u2019s natural resources are under threat and a greater effective international co-operation is needed now.
\n
\n3.\tGood, quality education<\/strong>. The standards of education have slipped in the past decade. It\u2019s time that educators and policy-makers to refocus and make changes.
\n
\n4.\tImproved internet access<\/strong>. It would mean learning and education for the less fortunate.
\n
\n5.\tFreedom from persecution<\/strong>.
\n
\n6.\tTolerance for other people\u2019s beliefs<\/strong>. Without sounding too idealistic the world needs more people who will find a middle ground for racial and religious tolerance and in no way expect others to follow their own beliefs. This goes both ways in both countries.
\n
\n7.\tWater for all<\/strong>. There are parts of the world where potable water is nonexistent. World communities should support international campaigns that do their utmost to get clean water to everyone.
\n
\n8.\tAffordable and nutritious food<\/strong>. Food or the lack thereof, is a major issue. There are famines around the world yet many people continue to be wasteful of their food.
\n
\n9.\tCombat waste<\/strong>. This means recycling and being smart of the things that are being purchased. The Earth is becoming a huge garbage dump.
\n
\n10.\tSpread LOVE<\/strong>. Not bigotry, not racism nor hate. <\/p>\n
