Interdepence Day Photo Gallery
"Where once nations depended on sovereignty alone to secure their destinies, today they depend on one another. In a world where the poverty of some imperils the wealth of others, none are safer than the least safe. Interdependence is not a strategy of idealists, but a realistic necessity."
Dr. Benjamin Barber
