It is said that love is the answer to all the challenges that we face in the world but how do we turn what can be a cliché into a reality? How do we move from talking the talk, to walking the talk and create a vibrant and hopeful future for us all?
About the Speakers
Our speakers tonight focus on the plight of refugees, who urgently need our support now. Each is an inspiring example of what can be achieved when we are motivated by the value of love.
