DR. PHINEHAS KINUTHIA SPEAKS UP ON HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE VALUE OF ALL MANKIND

Dr. Phinehas Kinuthia

The launch of the Human Rights Global Congress by IChange Nations™ in Grand Rapids Michigan was a life changing event. It was exciting and inspiring to have people from all walks of life come together and begin the conversation on how to educate the world on their Human Rights. It was inspiring to hear from each great leader.

The underlying theme was how valuable each of us are in our uniqueness and why we are to contribute towards humanity’s development by educating our children.  What inspired me was the paradigm that human rights issue is all about potential. There is untapped potential in everyone and so when we violate the human rights of others such as their rights for equality and freedom we deny them the opportunity to maximize on their abilities and who they were meant to be. This in return becomes potential wasted and humanity misses out on the value of that person’s contribution to the world. So every person should be valued.

It was also clear that the education of people on Human Rights has to start with our children. The average person cannot quote all the 30 Human Rights in the Universal Declaration of the Human Rights.  So we are to start helping people learn and understand their rights so they can become proponents and advocates of causes that support these rights.  It was an honor to contribute to this great conversation.

---------------------------------------------------------

One of the greatest gifts given to mankind is the gift of life. I consider it a privilege to wake up every morning with thanksgiving in my mouth and to be able to celebrate life daily. I am appreciative of all the benefits of life and the value of it. I am grateful for the wonderful people in my life including my family and to be able to celebrate each other.

Life is very valuable and precious because it has been made in the image of our Creator. Every life has been beautifully created and carries purpose in it. Every life is amazingly unique and cannot be duplicated nor replicated because it carries its own distinct identity. Just as every fingerprint is unique and no one in the world has the same fingerprints. In the same way every life is valuable and unique because no one can be like the other.

Every life carries gifts and talents for the purpose of making a positive difference and the world a better place to live. Thus, life must be protected and celebrated. We must honor every person because every life is precious, valuable and has something to contribute to humanity.

We must celebrate other cultures, ethnicities and races of people because there is power and beauty in diversity. Every culture adds flavor to humanity as a whole and contributes to the value of life. Thus, we must celebrate the value of life and it’s expressions through diversities we encounter.

I was born in Kolkata, India and saw extreme poverty in the streets of Kolkata. It broke my heart seeing these precious children homeless and digging through garbage looking for morsels of food. It would hurt and bother me seeing the misery of these people as the monsoon rains would come down and flood many streets in Kolkata. Those living in the slum areas were greatly affected by the rain and poverty. I remember feeding the poor and doing humanitarian works even as a child touched deeply by the conditions of the poverty I saw in Kolkata.

Every life is valuable including those who are poor, destitute and homeless. Our situation and condition in life does not diminish the precious value of who we are. Our economic status does not determine our value. What we have does not determine who we are. We are priceless, precious, valuable and unique. Each one of us including the homeless, poor and forgotten matter to our Creator and every life is special and irreplaceable.

Every person deserves to be honored and respected. We must create the culture of honor everywhere we go. Whether it be in the slums of Kolkata, India or in the tribal areas where many have never ventured to go. All people are a gift who must be celebrated and honored.

Today, I want to encourage everyone to value life and cherish it by maximizing it through living a lifestyle of honor. Let us celebrate others by embracing others and their individuality. Let us celebrate others by helping others to reach their fullest potential. We are not in a competition with each other but rather every individual has their own assignment and we must help them to complete their assignments. We must work together for the common good of humanity and remember there is power in unity. Let us celebrate life today because all life is valuable.

AMBASSADOR CLYDE RIVERS LIVING WITH CERTAINTY - EVERY LIFE IS VALUABLE - TAKES IT TO THE WORLD

Ambassador Rivers with El Salvadoran Children

Whether gold is found in Ghana, Sierra Leone, or the United States, its value remains the same. Its location does not determine its value. Humanity has inestimable worth regardless of geographical location and/or national existence. The entire human race is made up of particles of gold equal in value and deserving of honor and a protected life.

Hidden in each individual is potential waiting to be released as contribution to its society, culture, and nation. That potential is dependent on access to education, equal opportunity, and a culture of honor to create an atmosphere for it to flourish. When nations suppress human potential of its citizens by restricting freedoms and denying access to good education, they are impeding the progress of their country by imprisoning the potential contained within their people.

Gold does not appear automatically. It must be mined and excavated. Governments must understand their role in protecting their citizen’s freedoms and put forth effort in all areas to insure the golden potential of its people are being mined and processed into contribution.

When human rights are violated, then the potential of another Bill Gates, scientific breakthrough, medical cure, etc., are terminated and the gold of their contribution will forever remained buried beneath the societal earth of that nation.

Let’s have freedom for all people and have respect for each other’s human rights creating the perpetual cultural atmosphere of honor where everyone can contribute making (our) nation great and giving it a voice in the world.
