You, the South African and International community, are invited to join us in Durban and to take hands with a rockstar “one punk level higher” than Bono. We have also asked a few international and local artists to join us at this groundbreaking event. Participate at the biggest rally to hit South Africa this year! No visa required at the stadium - a free event!
On the afternoon of Sunday 27 November 2011, music, dance, jokes and the sound of Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu's signature chuckle will fill the Kings Park Rugby Stadium when people from all over the world will get together to sing “With our own two hands we can change the world”
Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu will be hosting this event when 52 000 people will come together to call on political leaders to put ethics and life ahead of national self interest. Since climate change is the greatest threat to have confronted humanity, people of Africa and the world will call for a fair and legally binding agreement, with a second commitment period for the Kyoto Protocol and success of COP17.
iStart2 is a “Sustainability through the Arts” initiative, helping us to make contact with world leaders and will launch a movement in which the global community will participate in re-imagining and implementing solutions towards ensuring a sustainable future for our children.
Thank you Archbishop Desmond for showing us that we must never forget how fragile we are...
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
Here’s to “The Arch”, showing us that we can only be human together. Showing us that it is okay to show our fragility, and that without forgiveness there is no future ... and that it IS okay for people of different faiths and non-faiths to take hands.
Happy 80th Birthday Archbishop Desmond Tutu!
iStart2 … i Star Tutu…
