This week we commemorated the 61st anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and we posted an article about the Every Human Has Rights Campaign. You were many to send comments about Human Rights, the campain… So for this new Twitter Sunday rendezvous, we decided to share with you our favorites tweets from The Elders.

We appreciate the work they do, their true and sincere commitment to change the world and provide their knowledge and help where it’s needed. The Elders do a lot and we are very proud Max Dana supports them actively with the “60 Signers for the 60th Anniversary” Initiative. They do an amazing work and we should always listen to what The -experienced- Elders have to say…
