Èze - France: a grand ceremony celebrates Humanitarian Civil Diplomacy and Jethro International's new Expansion Directors

The historic medieval town of Èze hosted a prestigious Jethro International gathering that celebrated humanitarian civil diplomacy and marked important appointments for its expansion.
The ceremony was presided over by Mr. Patrick Van Den Eede, Commandeur de l'Ordre du Mérite Social de Belgique , Jethro's European Director and President of L'Âme Europe .
In his opening speech, Mr Patrick underlined the importance of Humanitarian Diplomacy and the symbolic choice of Èze as the venue for the event.

As a child, Europe smelled like Nivea cream to me. It was the only western product we could occasionally buy on the beach, in secret, from East German tourists who had come to share the communist sun (which shone brighter than the capitalist one, it goes without saying). A little round blue box containing a feeling of distant, inaccessible freedom.
Today, chosen for this
Brussels Faces for 2030 campaign, I realise just how long the road has been. It has taken a lot of hard work, study and sacrifice, but it has also brought me great satisfaction. From the beaches of the Black Sea or the arid plains of southern Romania to Brussels, I am proud to represent the Romanian community in Belgium on the road to a more open and inclusive Europe. And to think that freedom always has shades of blue.
If Brussels had 1,000 people... because hope for the future of a city that deserves the best, a city that has been martyred over the last 20 years, will one day make history.
An audio archive of the interviews will be available for posterity and an exhibition will be organised soon. #StayCalmAndLoveBrussels...

French Senate: Innocent KAGBARA honoured by the Universal League for the Public Good

The honourable Innocent Kagbara, national president of the Pan-African Democratic Party (PDP), has been awarded a high international distinction for his socio-political and entrepreneurial commitments: the silver medal with palm and crown (Vermeil). This distinction is the fruit of numerous humanitarian actions carried out over several years for his country, Togo. This year's winner and host has made quite an impression. Despite his young age and his 1st term as a Member of the National Assembly, he has demonstrated his fervour and fighting spirit to reduce inequality and discrimination in his country. Having won the unanimous approval of the jury, Innocent KAGBARA expresses his gratitude to the organisation.
This growing and well-deserved reputation should enable him to work with serious national and international philanthropic organisations to help him achieve his far-reaching vision. This vision is of a prosperous Togo where inequalities are drastically reduced. This ideal will enable every Togolese to be dignified, considered and respected, and to have the opportunity to fulfil their potential and emerge from impoverishment, because every person on this Earth has the rig...
