• February is the month of love. Love comes in all shapes and sizes, and is seen in many moments of our lives. Every February, we get an entire day devoted to reminding those near and dear to our hearts of this four-letter word. This year, let’s remember to share our love with not just the people around us, but also people around the world.

  As many of you may know, China has been suffering from the wide-spreading coronavirus, causing many families to be separated due to the fear of more people being infected. In Australia, wildfires have been burning for months, destroying people’s homes and causing habitat destruction. In East Africa, Kenya suffers worst locust infestation in 70 years as millions of insects swarm farmland.

  Beyond culture, color, origin, religion and language: WE ALL ARE ONE. As countries are joining forces to address issues that transcend national boundaries, let’s play our part by spreading love, positivity and morale. Stop by the board in front of the refectory this week and send a love note to any people or country in the world to show your support.
