SUMMARY:Brahma Kumaris at Biodiversity Conference: COP17
DESCRIPTION:Our contribution to COP17 is guided by the following commitment:\nAt COP17 in Armenia\, the Brahma Kumaris Spiritual Organization commits to taking action for nature through spiritual regeneration and values-based living. Inspired by the butterfly—a symbol of harmony with nature\, transformative change and the power of small actions—we encourage individuals and communities to move from inner peace to conscious action. Through daily choices rooted in peace\, love\, purity and respect\, we aim to contribute to the implementation of the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). We believe that when souls transform\, systems can transform\, and that every action\, however small\, gives wings to collective change for a flourishing future in harmony with nature.\n\nBK Maureen\, Head of our Delegation\, and Valeriane Bernard\,  have offered wonderful guidance and support throughout our preparations. The delegation feels deeply grateful for their continued presence through their love\, wisdom and good wishes.\nFaith-based organizations have participated as observers in this biennial conference for many years. The Brahma Kumaris have been involved since COP11 in Hyderabad in 2012. We continue to contribute actively to the  Faiths for Biodiversity coalition.

SUMMARY:Weekly Meditation: Care and Support
DESCRIPTION:Tonight’s meditation will be dedicated to the International Day of Care and Support which is celebrated on October 29 with the theme\, Realizing human rights of all those providing and requiring care and support. Care work\, both paid and unpaid\, is crucial to the future of decent work. Growing populations\, ageing societies\, changing families\, women’s secondary status in labour markets and shortcomings in social policies demand urgent action on the organization of care work from governments\, employers\, trade unions and individual citizens. Care work consists of two overlapping activities: direct\, personal and relational care activities – paid and unpaid. –  UN Website. \n“People will forget what you said\, people will forget what you did\, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” — Maya Angelou \n“It is not how much you do\, but how much love you put into the doing.” – Mother Teresa \n“A simpler way exists; when we take care of others’ happiness\, then the universe takes care of us. We serve others and let the universe serve us”. – Brahma Kumaris. \n\n\nIn-person attendance:\n\n\n\n\nBrahma Kumaris Office at the UN\n866 UN Plaza\, Suite 436\nNY\, NY 10017\nRSVP mandatory: info@un.brahmakumaris.org\n\nOnline participation: https://bit.ly/weeklymed
