    I liked the the fact mentioned by Martin Luther King that before you finish your cup of tea in the morning, you have depended on more than half million people in the world.I think if we would all be waking up in the morning and reflecting on that, we could have far better life than this we are living right now.

    I never think i would cross this kind of life changing course this year. Global Citizenship Education is a course that all youth should undertake. It teaches moral, respect, rights, good learning and facilitating habit, harmony, inclusiveness, equitable, among others. Its complete and accurately marshaled. No doubt, it has transformed my life beyond reasonable doubt.

    Global citizenship education (GCED) is a form of civic learning that involves students' active participation in projects that address global issues of a social, political, economic, or environmental nature. The two main elements of GCE are 'global consciousness'; the moral or ethical aspect of global issues, and 'global competencies', or skills meant to enable learners to participate in changing and developing the world.
