Tolerance and respect mean magnanimity and

patience.Tolerance is sign of respect

and consideration for others. It is a virtue.

Tolerance and respect make a person develop wider vision.

Indeed, developing tolerance is not easy but worth trying.Once

you have learnt the art of loving and giving, you can

easily be tolerant and respectful.

Never discriminate people for reasons of religion, caste and

creed, better…

……NEVER DISCRIMINATE FOR NEVER DISCRIMINATE FOR ANY REASONS!ANY REASONS!

• Differences enrich us, the experience of each individual helps us to grow

and learn more, it does not matter that he/she was

born at 10 m from our house or 2000 km or more. What

matters is that he/she is a card of

that wonderful mosaic we call

WORLD

Thanks to the other and

through the other, we

realized the importance of

each of us and, although

sometimes difficult, we

understood it’s better…

Thank you so much COMENIUS because you gave us the opportunity to

think it over!See you next time!
