Faith holds a special place in the hearts of many and to judge somebody on their faith alone has proven to be a wrong practice. Value, however, is an excellent criterion, as different faiths can share the same values. This is what brings me today to discuss the relationship between faith and value in humanitarian work.
I believe segregation on the basis of faith within the humanitarian field is wrong, as it could lead to misunderstanding the infrastructure of the social fabric of our global family. Instead of sliding down the slope of alienation and division, we need to correct our path and divert our humanitarian movement to a more inclusive and integrative approach.
We must change faith into value because by translating our values into a community product, we can better serve the beneficiaries: the greater community. Let us show the goodness from our faiths and nourish the needs of the community at the grass-root level!
