The Guardians
Where there are Qilins there is Hope
Guardians of Humanity are people who have the courage to swim against the currents of the time, where and when these currents are endangering truth and independence; they put their life on the line to uphold the rule of the Sovereign Good.
GHF has been established by Tom Amatt and a team of friends in November 2017 at Basel, Switzerland. Amatt, a Sinologist by education, has spent his life as an independent entrepreneur in Asia and Europe with a lasting interest in the issues of the mind as well as regeneration of a healthy environment. His encounter and friendship with John Graham and Ann Medlock (www.giraffe.org) has brought about the idea for a Giraffe Heroes Foundation, today Guardians of Humanity. Amadé understands his role as that of a facilitator: those people attracted by the ideals of GHF have to be brought together, interactive platforms need to be formed and impact has to be created. Please join! (Switzerland – European Union/Worldwide).
