Soon, 2022 will come to an end. How have you been, looking back on this year? Are you celebrating the harvest with joy, or struggling to crawl forward in a tough situation? To welcome the new year, the independent international news media GPDN launchs the online initiative "Make a Wish, and may it come true", inviting good friends from all over the world to make a wish for the earth, for themselves and for others at the end of the year. May our dreams come true, may wisdom appear, and life awakens.
