Perseverance Day
February 27

"If at first you don't succeed ... try, try again..."

Most of the achievements and victories for a better world that have been won by individuals, nations and movements have come after long periods of dedication, hard work and struggle.
Perseverance Day, on February 27, is an opportunity to commemorate the important victories for a more peaceful, just and sustainable world that have been won, despite the odds and the hardships that brave, courageous better world heroes have had to endure.
Perseverance Day is also a time to remind ourselves to follow our dreams of a better world, and to keep on trying, even when there seems to be little hope, because it is the right thing to do. We may never know how the seeds of kindness that we plant may help others on their journey, today, or even sometime far in the future. But every act of compassion makes a difference!
