Celebrating the International Day of Peace in Scotland
September, 21st 2003
We were delighted to participate in the International Day of Peace
in collaboration with 'Spirit Aid,' a Glasgow-based, children's humanitarian
charity. Spirit Aid does tremendous work all over the world, mainly
with children and young people. Recent projects include building wells
and flour mills for villages, and funding mobile medical centres in
Afghanistan.
For the second year running, Spirit Aid invited the World Peace Prayer
Society to launch their annual week of activities and fund-raising
with a World Peace Flag Ceremony. The ceremony was held outside the
ancient Glasgow Cathedral, and the large crowd of participants represented
many of the countries in present crisis.
As each flag was presented, we all sent our positive messages of good
will and love to every human being and creature on Earth. We finished
with a giant circle, holding hands and imagining people all over the
world doing the same thing as us.
May Peace Prevail on Earth.
