quote

In the past, NGOs have been at the forefront of political and social reform. Now, they can become the connector, the social/human glue, to add the social, human and spiritual dimension to the current globalisation process. They can help to connect the local to the global and develop this New Social Architecture based on equality, social justice, tolerance, respect and shared responsibility, as expressed in the Millennium Summit Declaration. quote
