Desmond Tutu
Dear Friends,
I send you warm greetings from South Africa. The world seems to be moving at great speed with the availability of the internet and huge technological advances.
It can all be quiet overwhelming, but speed is not everything. The world is still spinning at the same speed that it has always travelled round the sun. Most importantly, people do not change. We all have the capacity to learn and it is education that gives tools to keep pace with an ever changing world.
Each person is vitally important in God’s scheme of things. You were created to be a very special human being and God has a purpose for your life, even if that has not been revealed to you yet. You will find that purpose through education. As you learn about the world and your place in it your horizons widen and possibilities grow. It is an exiting road to travel.
Go Ahead! is creating wonderful opportunities for young people. I commend them for their work and wish them well in their endeavors. I hope that many will support this young and growing organization enthusiastically.
Our children deserve a bright future. Go Ahead! is playing their part in making this a reality.
God bless you
Desmond M Tutu Archbishop Emeritus
