WORLD ARTISTS EXPERIENCE FRIENDS, SUPPORTERS, HOST FAMILIES, TEAMS

 
During the pandemic and protests, we thank you for your care for the people and cultures of the world.  Also, we are hearing from our  friends and partners with both their support and expressing their value in WAE! You can and have made a
difference!
       The voices of our youth are saying:
 
BRIGHTEN THE WORLD
 
The world we live in holds seven billion
people; thousands of languages
and trillions of stories, waiting to be told.
 
People are different and unique, yet all one!
It's not only the color of our skin,
our diversity makes us special on the
outside and the in.
 
While every name is no bigger than the
length of a hand, happiness knows no boundaries and is the
universal language all names understand.
 
We all struggle, we all smile, we all cry.
We are inter-connected and our diversity
shapes us and pulls us together.
 
We try to be grateful, to help the broken
hearted, to remember: “If not me, who? If not
now when? We belong together.
 
Our differences remind us of our shared
humanity together, we bring peace to the
world. Black hair, blond curls, beads in braids,
a kippah, a hijab-
 
Inside we are all spices-we make this
worldflavorful!
One world: filled with the wonder of our amazing stories.
 
STAND UP FOR ONE WORLD
 
Learning to see, eye to eye,
we celebrate together that being different
makes us human.
 
With our stories and dreams we teach each other about
ourselves.
Make friends, learn new languages and cross boundaries.
Our differences unite in the glow of one heart.
 
You’re a foreigner to me, I’m just as foreign
to you.
A rainbow has seven beautiful colors but we
don’t judge one over another.
 
Let’s partner to stop the oppression caused
by misdirected ambition.
Ignorance is the enemy, not people. We all
breathe the same air, and all our work shapes our singular world.
 
With a twinge of sadness and a glimmer of
hope, grateful for those we love and those who love
us, we know that we all share responsibility for
this world.
 
With effort and a little magic, we can change.
Everyone is special and important. In the
end, we are all explorers relying on each other.
 
From the 2015 WAE’s Bridges to the World Student Anthology. Compiled by Michael Glaser and Rachel Heinhorst.
 
We must recommit ourselves to build on WAE’s hope. Let us work together for a better world! We ask please for your thoughts, ideas, and willingness to help us to build together!
