“We are building our future. It’s important that we learn from the past and learn from the mistakes and make sure that things like ethnic cleansing, property disposition, and community destruction never happen in our future,” says Natassa Uehara from Japan.

“The first step to any change is acknowledgment of a problem and its severity. Then, and maybe most importantly, it is to find our inner humanity as the leading approach to any issue,” notes Anainah Dalal from India.
