Creating Jobs for a Better World 🌍

As we grow older, finding jobs becomes harder. Markets often favor the young, while older generations are encouraged to retire—especially in developing countries where there is often no strong social security or healthcare system.

Without sufficient savings, many people in these nations face economic hardship and reduced life expectancy, unlike in developed countries where social safety nets allow for longer, healthier lives.

To change this cycle, we must create jobs—and that requires investment.

Building companies responsibly is key. Many of us, like myself, who have a heart for the world, feel deeply responsible for financial stewardship. We do not want to recklessly borrow from banks and risk failure with heavy penalties.

Instead, we must strategically build businesses that are sustainable, impactful, and resilient.

By investing in AI, automation, and robotics, we can massively increase productivity, particularly in sectors like manufacturing that can absorb large numbers of human resources.

Private sector investment is critical. It doesn't just boost economies—it creates real opportunities for people and supports governments in nation-building.

We need resources and platforms to teach and empower people to create companies and jobs. We must identify:

Which sectors have the highest growth potential,

Where the demand for skilled work is increasing,

And what innovations can drive sustainable economic expansion.

Examples like Singapore's Provident Fund show how structured savings and investment systems can secure housing, healthcare, and retirement for the population. This model can inspire developing nations.

Looking forward, AI, technology, and space exploration will be key drivers of the future economy.

By tapping into resources beyond Earth, we can help feed a growing global population projected to reach 9 billion—providing food, energy, and resources to sustain peace.

When people's basic needs—housing, food, shelter, and healthcare—are met, wars and conflicts diminish.

People fight because of scarcity.

We must build growth to create abundance and prevent war.

Supporting the jobs creation agenda will uplift developing countries and drive inclusive global prosperity.

A healthy and balanced $118 trillion global stock market economy can be a powerful engine to fund businesses, generate jobs, and secure humanity’s future.

Let’s work together: invest wisely, create jobs, build a future of hope.

Thank you. 🙏

Standing in Faith for Ukraine 🇺🇦🕊️

This year, at the 2025 Spring Meetings, there has been no clear announcement yet about Ukraine relief at the Civil Society Policy Forum (CSPF).

In previous years, especially during the Biden administration, we saw strong open discussions at CSPF, where CSO partners actively shared updates from Ukraine and coordinated humanitarian aid.
This year, however, we could not find any specific Ukraine-focused sessions.
Additionally, the 7th Ministerial Meeting for Support to Ukraine was restricted, while previous ministerial sessions were open and transparent.

Despite this, we remain hopeful that the World Bank and IMF will continue their mission to help Ukraine’s 6 million refugees, provide medical support for amputated citizens and soldiers, and help heal the deep trauma affecting Ukraine’s children and families.

💔 Children who have lost parents, homes, and peace are the most affected.
💔 Many innocent civilians, who had no part in the conflict, lost their lives due to bombs and violence.

We call on world leaders and governments:

➡️ To use resources for healing, not destruction.
➡️ To remember that the cost of one missile could instead bring education, medicine, and hope to thousands.
➡️ To act responsibly and think of the future of humanity—not ambition or power.

Democracy must choose wise, peace-seeking leaders in every nation—Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Gaza, and beyond—who prioritize saving lives and building peace over fueling endless wars.

🌿 As members of CSO, and as people of God, we are committed to helping orphans, widows, and the wounded.

🌍 The World Bank and IMF were born out of the ashes of World War II, during the Bretton Woods Conference in July 1944.
Representatives from 44 Allied nations gathered in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, to create a new system for international economic cooperation.
Out of this historic meeting, two key institutions were established:

• The International Monetary Fund (IMF) — to ensure financial stability, promote global economic cooperation, and reduce poverty.
  
  

• The World Bank (originally the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development) — to finance the rebuilding of nations devastated by war and to support development and growth.
  
  

Today, we honor that legacy—and we will not give up on the dream of a better, more peaceful world. 🌟

Thank you and God bless.
Glory to God. ✝️🕊️
