World Earth Day reminds us to connect with nature, our environment, and ourselves. Like Patti, let's find serenity in our surroundings and forge a symbiotic bond between humanity and the Earth. Today, let's embrace the calmness within and commit to protecting our cherished home.

Today, as we celebrate #WorldHeritageDay , let's acknowledge the built heritage that surrounds us in rural districts, cities, and alleyways—a constant reminder of faith, healing, and community congregation.
Join us in honouring these on this World Heritage Day.
