We are one, but we are many, and from all the lands of earth we come... This famous Australian song which would deserve to be the country's national anthem celebrates unity and diversity. Look at this photo and see how many ethnic origins you can see - it's stunning. It's an ordinary public school in Sydney. It's our global village. Could there be a better message for Christmas ? Joy and Peace to the world.We are one, but we are many - nous sommes nombreux mais nous sommes un, nous venons de toutes les contrées de la terre... cette chanson si belle qu'elle mériterait d'être l'hymne national australien célèbre à la fois son unité et sa diversité. Regardez ces visages : combien d'origines ethniques reconnaissez-vous ? C'est stupéfiant. C'est une école primaire ordinaire de Sydney. Aujourd'hui c'est l'évidence du quotidien, nous sommes un. Quel beau message pour Noel ! Que la paix et la joie soient en vous.

Ce joyeux Noël, des cadeaux plein les bras,
Qui réchauffe nos coeurs et apporte la joie,
Jour des plus beaux souvenirs,
Plus beau jour de l'année."

This Merry Christmas, gifts full arms,
Who heats our hearts and brings the joy,
Day of the most beautiful memories,
More beautiful day of the year."

Without reading the post, i was just about to say that is some diversity but now I guess the picture makes sense =)
Ohh this is a wonderful photo Nathalie:)
Merry Christmas Natalie, Have a good one!
A very fine photo for the season. Thanks you, too, for the comments re. diversity.
A Merry Christmas to you and yours from Trujillo - Peru
Merry Christmas from Albuquerque Daily Photo!
Thanks to all of you for your wonderful comments; Yes I am having a delightful Christmas with my husband's family (a very large one,24 we were for dinner). The weather in the alps is fantastic,very sunny and yes,white,even if the snow cover is very thin. Love to you all !
For those of you who noticed that Sally and I had a similar photo, it was taken the day we had lunch together, as we were walking down the street; Sally knew the teachers and had a chat to them and we were allowed to take a shot of the kids.
D'habitude dans les écoles ils ne raffolent pas des sucettes car les enfants en mettent partout et ça POISSE !
Oh yes indeed. So similar - kids everywhere. Sydney or Gorbio - all the same.
