5 September 2019 President Meta: Fighting poverty to strengthen peace and prosperity in Albania
On the occasion of the International Charity Day and the anniversary of Mother Teresa’s Consecration, the President of the Republic, H.E. Ilir Meta, in the framework of his initiative, in cooperation with the “Blood Donation Alliance”, participated in the blood donation session organized by the “Fundjava Ndryshe” Foundation.
“Today is a very special day. Not only International Charity Day, but also Mother Teresa’s Day of Sanctification, bound together in the important human message they convey, that love must not be left alone, it must be putted into action and service, especially to those most in need of coping with daily poverty, suffering and hardship.
Like the motivation behind Mother Teresa’s Nobel Prize, we must not forget that poverty and suffering are often a threat to peace. And only through a commitment to combating these social wounds, consistently and sustainably, we do not only give love, but at the same time strengthen the peace and prosperity of our communities and families.
