Nelson Mandela International Day honors the legacy of the well-known human rights lawyer, international peacemaker, and the first democratically elected president of a free South Africa. His determination and commitment to peace, freedom, justice, and equality have made a global impact that empowers people to recognize their ability to have a positive effect on others.
Offer a helping hand today to recognize the power to make a change, both local and global.

Happy International Day of Families!

Thanks World Affairs Council of Kentucky and Southern Indiana for celebrating families around the globe all year!

We hope that FACT mothers had a wonderful day of reflection yesterday with their families!

In 1993, the United Nations General Assembly decided that May 15th should be observed as The International Day of Families.

This day reflects the importance the international community attaches to families

Let us know what family means to your culture below. 👇

"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me!"

The reality of words and their impact far out weigh what this phrase intended when it was written. The truth is words can hurt, so we are choosing to explore words to affirm our families in the present and future.

What words will you choose to share with your family today?

We learned about change and created poems and drawings about our favorite seasons and how we experience transformation with our families.

The snow has cleared and we look forward to resuming art making at Louisville Grows tomorrow! We also will share updates with our upcoming community art celebration!
