Express it: Kamil Pinarci comment on SI/E video
Kamil PINARCI commented on the video "Soroptimist International: Friendship Days 2008":
"Wonderful subject!
Racism and prejudice is the most primitive form of human behavior.
It creates walls between human societies and human beings from all around the world.
It hinders development and understanding and blockage to solution of many problems.
The day we were able to reach the levels of all human beings created equal the day all women and men, and all children will be able to express their rich creativity without fear and social opportunity we will be a really civilized society."

Video: Soroptimist Friendship Days 2008
Soroptimist International Friendship Days 2008 celebrated from September 19th - 21st 2008 in Aarhus, Denmark. The theme of the meeting was No Tolerance of Intolerance. Besides this, one important purpose was also to establish an inspiring forum for new friendships across borders and across Soroptimist clubs.
The programme inspired Soroptimists from Denmark, Europe, Africa, indeed from all over the world, to join in and meet other Soroptimists.
The programme included a series of lectures on Saturday as an entry to vivid discussions on the theme. Not to forget the opening reception at Aarhus Townhall, gala dinner and a guided city tour. Sunday evening closed the official part of the programme with home hospitality hosted by Soroptimist members of the two Denmark clubs.

Our Planet!
It’s all we have ever had and it’s pretty
much all we have got left.
Yet we already consume more than our planet
can sustainable provide and by 2050 we will
need the output 2 Earth, if we are going to
continue living as we do now.
Sadly, this is not science-fiction. This is
science-fact.
