It often does not need much input in order to bring about a lot. In order to give the disadvantaged of this world a chance the insight is above all necessary that we can only survive as mankind if all survive and share the resources of our earth. The Two Wings network sets signs that a change of awareness into this direction is possible. The fundamental idea of Two Wings is simple and convincing: Only if both wings are intact, the bird can fly. Only if the basic needs of all people are met can there be peace and true advancement.

I have personally experienced the joy and enthusiasm of the great humanist Peter Ustinov concerning "Two Wings" years ago: Good deeds attract good people. I therefore wish your elaborate and exemplary initiative every support by the economy, politics and media.

Two Wings is one of the most creative and most important attempts to make development aid more philanthropic and more concrete.

Mihaela Vacaru, Vice President AIESEC Austria

'During the workshop on Leadership in Times of Tranzition, moderated by Mr. Elloy Anello, Ive realize how important is to have a healthy base of values and principles, to KNOW WHO YOU ARE and what do you want to do in life. And its not only about personal dimension, it's more than this, it's related to everything that surrounds you. I believe that for the future, a bigger accent should be put on developing the youth and cultivate a culture based on values and principles. The youth of today, will be the leaders of tomorrow, and it's important the way they develop in a complex world without prejudices.

"Many cynics say development-cooperation is like a drop on the hot stone. For me, personally, development work is always a drop into the ocean."

"Seeing the world as a whole, as an integrated-interconnected environment is vital for sustainable development. Two Wings is offering these holistic lenses to the people and fortunatly especially to the young people engaged in AIESEC."

Student and Project Manager AIESEC Warwick UK LC
Unity in diversity, sustainable development and equality of opportunity are what we really need to focus on. To achieve those elements, we have to think in a ‘glocal’ way and this is what Two Wings deals with. Together with AIESEC and Two Wings, I am sure that we can all fly and pursue the real sense of happiness without reservations. Volunteering is truly a rewarding experience that can ever do in your life. It will surely be an asset in my life.

We live in a state which offers us a network of social security. Academic education and free decision in the choice of a profession go without saying. One more reason to support people who are lacking the necessary prerequisites for this. Thanks to the excellent humanitarian institution of Two Wings, women receive the possibility of education in developing countries. By means of the many dividend donations and our joint responsibility the Two Wings projects can further thrive. 

The Two Wings initiative is exemplary in the way it promotes the cooperation between North and South as equivalent partners.

Society is going through a stage of development, in which the awareness is constantly growing that everything is interconnected with everything else. In the system family, organization, mankind sound growth can only take place if all parts have their equal position.  Mothers and fathers, co-workers, men and women. 

TWO WINGS has set its goal to promote women persistently so that this balance becomes possible. The fruits of this engagement are encouraging and give hope. To support that, makes sense to me. 

To keep the opposites in balance – that is what I call life. 

Whoever has not yet understood, that the basic law of creation is anchored in the field of tension of opposites and that it is our human duty to keep these forces in balance endangers the world and himself. 

If the overemphasis of one single principle prevails, the male dominates the female, the north the south, the rational the spirit, the economy the culture, the world threatens to tip over like a badly loaded ship. To work the ontological laws into the consciousness and the lives of people again, has moved me to support Two Wings.

Simply helpful, supremely human, actually responsible, simply pointing to the future and truly exemplary – that for me is the concept of Two Wings. May this good idea “to enable a future through education” be widely supported in order to be able to support the concrete individual projects effectively.

Two Wings also works - among other things - on a strong ethical basis, that agrees in many areas with the idea of the project World Ethic, as for example with the basic consensus over shared values, attitudes and standards and with the concept of the responsibility for a better world-order. Two Wings also supports human rights, freedom, justice and peace in order to contribute to world-peace.

The objective of Two Wings - to contribute to the balance between "North and South " and between the sexes - is especially worthy of support for me as a representative of one of the oldest peace-movements, that speaks out for a neutral international language and that commits itself to a humanist internationalism.
