Celebrating International Migrants Day: A Global Fiesta!
Hi, global citizens! 🌍 How far have you travelled this year to get to December 18th - International Migrants Day? Migration is an ancient tale that has been echoing through the ages - the first humans set foot in North America 20,000 years ago. Fun facts:
· Some famous US immigrants: Albert Einstein – German, Elon Musk – South-African, Madeleine Albright – Czech, An Wang – Chinese, K Chawla - Indian
· Immigrants pay more taxes in their lifetimes than they consume in services.
· There are over 281 million immigrants worldwide – using 7,000 languages
Let’s celebrate unity, diversity, and the incredible journeys that bring us together. As Gandhi said, “Unity in diversity will be the beauty and the test of our civilization.”
