Fifty years on, Uganda's Baha'i temple stands as a symbol of unity and progress

The concept of the Baha'i House of Worship, as envisaged by Baha'u'llah, not only incorporates a central meeting place for prayer and meditation but, in time, a range of facilities to serve the social and educational needs of the surrounding population.

When people of different faiths - Christians, Muslims and Baha'is among them - pray together at the House of Worship, there is a special atmosphere, added Mr. Woldu. "The temple plays a big role in that people who had some kind of prejudice towards other religions, when they come here, they see that we're all saying prayers from different Holy Scriptures. Once you are inside the House of Worship we are one in the name of God. And that just brings us together."

About 854 million people - more than the combined populations of Canada, the United States and countries of the European Union - did not have enough to eat. More than twice the number of children in the United States were involved in child labour while abuse, poor education and disease affected more women globally than men.
while the September 11 2001 terrorist attacks killed 3 000 people, 6 000 people died daily in Africa from HIV and Aids, 7 000 died from malaria and at least 2 000 died of TB.
