AMBASSADOR MUSSIE HAILU RECEIVES iCHANGE NATIONS PERSON OF THE YEAR AWARD

Ambassador Mussie Hailu

Ambassador Mussie Hailu, one of the world’s top philanthropists, is the first recipient of the iChange Nations Person of the Year Award. The award was presented by Professor Clyde River, President of iChange Nations, at the Gerald R. Ford Library and Museum during the Golden Rule Award ceremony.

Ambassador Hailu established the Golden Rule International Award, as well as, the initiative of the Golden Rule International Award Day. We have now reached over 130 nations of the world with the message of the Golden Rule –  ‘treat others as you want to be treated’. ”

Golden Rule Award International is the Solution to World Peace

Ambassador Mussie Hailu and Ambassador Dr. Clyde Rivers

Ambassador Clyde Rivers speaks about the solution to world peace. He is quoted saying, “There are several issues facing the world today. There are wars, famines, and injustices taking place all over the globe. We are in a catastrophic global decline.

The global community is searching for solutions. Many of the solutions they are looking for would cost billions of dollars that the global community does not possess. What do we do when we can’t buy our way out of a problem?

There is only one solution that can solve these horrendous global issues and it does not have to do with money but with human character – living the Golden Rule. Teaching people to treat others the way they want to be treated would make the most significant change we could imagine. Think about a businessman that wants to treat others they way he would like to be treated? What about the creators of vaccinations that heal the sick? Having the honest desire to see their creation released on the world to bring healing, just like they would want to have help in their own personal wellness. What if leadership around the world would treat those they lead like they would want to be treated? Can you envision the world if we treated others the way we want to be treated? It would be a much better place for mankind. Humanity does not have to agree on everything – just agree to apply the Golden Rule. As the old adage says, “Agree to disagree.”

The Golden Rule is a policy from the Bible and is stated in some form in every religious culture in the world. Encouraging other cultures to live by the policy of treating others the way you want to be treated would bring global change. I plan to continue to bring this new global ethnic and work to change the world.”
