Robert Blodgett
PAINTER, PHILOSOPHER, PEACE MAKER
Peace means poverty elimination. Peace means everyone having access to the objects of human rights. Human rights such as the right to have a certain quality of life which allows for satisfactory level of well-being for one's self and one's family, are absolutely essential to peace, and the elimination of poverty is essential to these rights. Thomas Pogge says poverty is like slavery, there either exists poverty or there does not, reducing poverty in this sense is then not an option; poverty must be eliminated. Peace, then, does not consist in half-measured efforts but in the total elimination of poverty, and the promotion of human rights. Once we eliminate poverty and ensure everyone has access to the objects of human rights, war is over. This is not some pie in the sky dream. Pogge estimates that if society's very richest members just relinquished 2% of their wealth, poverty would be fully elimated. Not only is this attainable, it's readily and immediately attainable "if we want it". Peace isn't a dream, it's our only hope.

Chhaya Saint Ramon
Peace Museum Paris
Chhaya Mathur Saint Ramon: An Indo French woman, with two young bicultural children. For the future of mine and other children, helping create a world without strife. Where every child gets a peaceful environment to sustain rowth beside food, shelter and education to thriven. Where every human being can live in dignity. Where everyone can contribute freely to the best of their ability. Utopia? It will be,if we giveup. I was born in India at a time when the elected Prime Ministre saw herself losing power and declared nationwide Emergency. Thus turning a democratic country to an autocratic state. Though the Emergency power lasted around three years, the repercussions were felt over generations. Indian ever declared war for over a thousand years, yet, today, it is struggling with divisions of every kind. I see some of those lines appearing in my adopted country France as well. Having lived in Jordan in my early twenties, I gotto see the Palestinian’s refugee's plight. Working with UN’s World Food Program even though I was on the peripherique, I got to know of how much needed to be done. Syria, Iraq, Sierra Leone…… may seem far, if you find yourself in another geography. But in today’s connected world, either we have peace everywhere or feelt heripple effects come knocking on our doorsteps. If I can help in any smallest of way to create a more inclusive, peaceful environment, then I Would have contributed to leaving a better world for the coming generation
