Originally from Le Havre, France, Hervé Lecomte began his career as a mathematics teacher. In 2005, he became the director of the La Providence school group in Fécamp and continued to enhance his career by taking on the role of diocesan director of Catholic Education for the Diocese of Le Havre in 2012. In 2018, he expanded his responsibilities to include the position of Secretary General of the CREC of Catholic Education in Normandy. Given his openness to others and to different cultures, it was natural and immensely pleasurable for him to accept, in 2021, the new mission of overseeing the PLANET FRATERNITY project, entrusted to him by the Office of International Catholic Education. In December 2022, he assumed the role of Secretary General of this organization, representing the voices of over 68 million students and their families from more than 210,000 schools in various international institutions, including the UN, UNESCO, and the Council of Europe.

Alvin Law is a motivational speaker and former radio broadcaster. Law was born without arms as a consequence of his mother's use of thalidomide while pregnant. His birth parents put him up for adoption, and he was raised by foster parents Hilda and Jack Law. Alvin Law learned to perform routine activities using his feet alone, including eating, dressing and grooming himself, driving, sewing, playing sports, and playing the drums, piano, and trombone. He attended regular elementary and high schools, even though, at the time, handicapped children were usually placed in institutions or special education programs.
