Ads that bring you closer to home...

In my school, we commemorated Racial Harmony Day today. Students seemed to know the model answers to any questions we can throw at them about the need for a cohesive multi-racial society. Some of them could even relate to you the racial riots from which we found need for a reminder to live in peace while embracing racial and religious differences.

While we seek to embrace the differences, let us not forget everything that we already have in common.

"Treasure what you have. Embrace what others have that you don't."
