[Thank you avaaz for the
information and for the EMAIL reminder you have sent to me]
(I LIKE TO DEDICATE THIS
MY POOR NOTE FOR THOSE WHO ALLOCATE THEIR TIME AND LIFE FOR THE BENEFIT OR WELL
BEING OF MAINLY THE CHILDREN WHO ARE
AFFCETED BY ANY CONFLICT SITUATIONS AND FOR ALL CHILDREN)
A child Miseducated is a
child lost’ – John F Kennedy
He who opens a school door
closes a prison – Victor Hugo
EDUCATION is a fundamental
RIGHT for all children not only Sri Lankan children, Ethiopian, Ukrainian,
All tribes, all societies, all countries EDUCATION is an ethical right of
children of the whole UNIVERSE.
Why Syrian children are
special here though we know that ALL CHILDREN ARE SPECIAL
No I am not trying to
highlight them here I am purposely and intentionally writing that they need a
better clam, peaceful surrounding for them to gain any layers or levels
education.
They are hurriedly in need
of peace and education together. They need no education without peace or only
peace without the chances for education but when there is PEACE the rest is
achievable.
Without peace no education
they gain will be peaceful or useful
There are reasons as to why
EDUCATION (Knowledge) should be shared amongst all (Children) across
globe? Why is it very important?
Is it because they are the
heart of any Nation
Is it because they are the
core of any country?
Is it just because they
are the ‘back-bone’ of any society
Is it because they are the
pulse of future
All comes later at the
list of importance then what comes first ‘because they are the UNIVERSE’
It is education that has
the POWER to write the destiny of the world of children for better
Children are the present
& the ‘future’
Every child should learn
not just to stop ANY WARS in the future but to understand each and every one of
them, their families, their society, their Nation and other nations better.
Authorities must provide
them a better place to study, children friendly environment, peaceful
surroundings, enough and enough of space to learn the things they like with ALL
GOOD GUIDENCE AND DIRECTIONS of their GOOD HEARTED TEACHERS, PARENTS,
WELWISHES, SUPPORTERS rather than giving them 'job oriented' training
and practices at the very beginning that can wait until they become little
mature in their process of choosing their own streams of learning.
Job oriented focuses can
be practiced and applied especially at the latter stage of their lives.
So to layer a better
foundation for children’s education a vast, a massive ‘togetherness of
discussions are truly and unbelievably essential’
Learning or education is
not just for ‘kids’ this very particular stage of ones life called ‘childhood’
is need very much care and attention and this is the best place, stage to layer
a better, un breakable, solid concrete
foundation for better education.
Education is not just
something that they learn how to read and write A – Z s of the alphabet,
learning or practicing to learn all qualities that will inevitably nourish
their ways of communicating and sharing and loving, living included.
'They truly need to learn the basics of how to
treat each and every one with some respect. Then i am sure there will never be
any wars in this world.
I do not expect any
children to say IN THE FUTURE when they get the chances to write the unwritten
pages of histories of their societies that ‘every war that had taken place in
the histories of the world is legal’ legal sides of something is always there
in the spheres of the rights of education children’s right to education, the
world ethical right to peace and harmony.
So can we not talk about
SYRYAN children don’t they need a better place for better education?
Via providing better
education for children any country can stop all viruses that kills and harms
the inner sides of any groups of human.
Wars are one of the
viruses. There are ways to use education for better. Education can be used as
one of the better strategies not only to minimize the 'differences' of any
society, any group, but also to strengthen their unity within. Then
no outsider/s can harm its inner peace.
It is no point arguing
‘hey don’t you know that how many are there in this world, achieved high, highest education why is the world still
showing ‘most the differences, divisions fights
violence in some of the parts of the world.
May be they have not
gained what is known as better education
I don’t know
I am not an expert from
time to time the experts the scholars suggested various ways as to how to
educate your child for better’
From every preliminary
stages of gaining education there are challenging strategies to be practiced.
Every child is unique
though they come from different backgrounds a child may come from Syria or
Nigeria, Afghanistan, Nepal or from Hawaii to India. It is true that we all of
us show some differences in skin tones originally known or named as ‘ whites or
blacks’ Asians or as Africans’ or as Europeans a child is a child, a man is a
man, a woman is a woman what differences that such terms show in reality?
Is it only the Asians
breathe not others?
Is it only the Europeans
who eat Pasta or Cakes?
Is the term LOVE
prohibited in Nigeria?
Is it only the Jamaicans
cry not the Americans?
Is it only the Kennedy teaches
the bitterness of assassination?
Was it only the Jackie
Kennedy understood the weight of the Tears not the other women who lost their
men in battles?
‘WE ALL HUMAN’
We all feel and understand
tears, happiness, dullness, borings, power of strengthens, eternity of peace
and harmony what kills us, what expects our hearts and minds
We all understand them,
perfectly I like to believe.
Who does not understand
the value of Peace and harmony then, children’s right to education?
The Uneducated only
Let them learn, allow them to learn they will change the world
they will for sure create a better ' VOICE FOR THE WORLD' and
they surely will be the 'VOICE OF THE WORLD'.
They have to know and must
learn what to say, how to say, when to say what ever they have to say, what
ever differences that bothers them also will bother the others, via what
methodologies and strategies that should address or talk of their issues
pertaining to any sort of thing.
'ISOLATION' make no sense peace
can not be achieved in isolation or alienating from other parts of the world.
Ask for help when necessary, talk to your most trusted friends for help with
regard to world matters or any matters within.
They might have to talk to
the world what is the way for them to talk to the world if they are stunned
with good level of education they will learn all of them but for that provide
them a better place,
So for all those
achievements education is the best tool, equipment, non harmful non violence
method.
So the money that goes
from any of mentioned or not mentioned societies such as Syria, not
to strengthen the hearts and brains of all children but to fatten the
wallets of weaponry sellers, war dealers can be stopped in the future totally.
Better, thoughtful, well planned, well designed, well understood
system of education for children has the power to prevent, minimize, or
eliminate most the differences of any society in the futures yet to arrive though
it does not hold the total power to do it in a manner that can achieve its
fullest ‘aims and targets’ when other things comes and barricade,
obstacle their lives.
-
Minimize
difference of any level or layers of any society
Socio -
cultural, economical political of regional or continental
-
Attitudinal
change of minds of people
What are the
other things here?
The differences
of the generational gaps of understanding each other , between people, already
existing, spoiled mindsets of some (
though the number here is little) who are still aiming at such divisions to
sustain under various categories of class or caste or other.
So it is via
children through their hearts and minds we can send across our messages as to ‘ we are against war’, we are against
any disputes, any
How to provide them better education is not any more a problem to
this world that we live. we have enough of knowledge , experts to take care of
that sections only thing is we need to plan ‘how to apply them for a country
like ‘ children of Syria’ or any society that children are affected by any sort
of troubles distracted by any sort of struggles , wars. I do not know whether
what I suggest here is practical mainly because it is never a good idea to
alienate children specially the very small ones from their parents therefore it
is little harder decision to take if they agree to send their children to a
different country for their ‘education – peaceful’. But this any government , state have to do
with loads of care and responsibility not only Syria any other society who face
similar issues first must come to agreement with any decided authorities
whether they can provide them fullest security , guardians. When they are away from their parents it is
no easy for others to direct their children to gaining any sort of education
even via using the world’s best known strategies of donating or serving,
offering , providing education.
Our country did not practice this method, what I am suggesting
here therefore I can not assure this as a the best method at this moment,I do
not know how practical it is for a country to ask the whole family to move to a
different society specially the families with small children for them to
achieve better education along with their parents until the authorities assure
of security plus peaceful environ for better
education for children
Syria is one of the countries of the map of this world how many
other countries are there?
So let’s ask give them a hand for their children to embrace a
better world via providing better environment for education.
I don’t ask other government to build schools for Syrian children
to study in their respective countries all what I am asking is to let them if
possible to learn at all international schools or other local schools of any
country only until they reach to a peaceful and protected better safe
residences for them to live and study.
According to Ms D M W Munasinghe ( senior lecturer /OUSL) At least
they (insert the name of the relevant society/authorities) can take the
children who ate affected from what ever may struggle, conflicts to a least
affected areas and organize some suitable activities , programmes such as
musical, plays , dramas, any related activities. And if possible organize what
is most suitable for them after getting a picture of the nature of the issues of
such children but for that they shouldn't waste much time because children who affected
from any such situations need immediate attentions and care. It is not necessarily
important to teach them the letters of alphabet because it is sometimes
difficult but other methods such as organize programmes suitable for them is
more appropriate, useful.
(Please note that above is
not the exact wording or the word to word reporting of what Ms D M W Munsinghe was trying to explain I tried to get the ‘core
ideas of her’)
During all what I am suggesting and writing I like to INSIST that it is a
temporary , very, very temporary solution what we must do is to STOP any sort
of VIOLENCES within make necessary arrangement
for them to live and study peacefully, afterwards.
I know that most the famous solid personalities are maintaining ‘foundations’
for children
All of them must come around a one table and discuss what to do
for CHILDREN how to use their FUNDS, how to use their resources – knowledge
usefully in Syria or in Afghanistan or
in any other needy parts of the world.
