“When we make a thought a reality, we realize that all human beings, in one way or another, converge in God. As we prepare to unveil an extraordinary statue of a great peacemaker, we know that utopia is the goal of the visionary. We understand clearly that whoever desires to be a leader must dream. Yes, Peace Pilgrim is here. And she, who never asked for anything, who gave everything, walked throughout the countries, speaking of a new way of peace – saying that in order to overcome evil we need to do good; in order to transform falsehood we need to elevate the truth. She told us that love is the instrument that can contradict hatred. Welcome, Peace Pilgrim. Ben Bienvenida, Peregrina de Paz.” -Rodrigo Carazo, winner of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation’s Leadership Award.
