ASEZ WAO Academy
The power to change society comes from knowledge.
Through education, we nurture ASEZ WAO activists
who can put knowledge into action.
We take action
when we know what to do
In the vast universe,
the earth
is a pale blue dot.
Though it is a mere dot in the universe,
it is a special dot to us,
because we live there.
The earth is the only place
where 7 billion people can call home
and sustain their lives.
All people live on this tiny dot,
both in the past and present.
The earth is a special gift from God for mankind.
However, from a certain point in time,
everything on the earth has become subject
to various threats.
In fact, we, ourselves,
are the very cause of the threats.
Discrimination
. . . in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights
and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction
as to race, sex, language, or religion . . .
There are still various forms of discrimination
in this world.
Poverty
10.7% of the world's population
still lives on just a little over $1.9 a day
(International poverty line).
Violence
People of the age between 15 and 44
all around the world
lose their lives due to violence.
People are suffering
because of people.
Climate Change
According to UN statistics,
carbon dioxide emission in the world
has increased by 50% since 1990
Plastic Pollution
It is predicted that there will be
more plastics than fish in the sea in 2050
Reduced Biodiversity
In the past 40 years, 60% of the vertebrates
have gone extinct, and one third of the surface
of the earth has either become desert
or is under rapid desertification.
The earth is suffering
because of people.
Knowledge is power
