Our philosophy: We feel that whatever your labors and aspirations in this noisy confusion of life, one must keep peace in his/her soul. We must take kindly to the council of our elders. The wisdom we get from them, combined with the new generation's ideas, we can resolve tribalism/nationalism, sexism and racism.
