At Maya's school they had an "International Day
of Peace, September 21" poster contest. Kwanza's school held an essay
contest.
Amir's class started
an International Day of Peace Club. They asked their Mayor to declare
a Proclamation of Peace for September 21. Then they wrote to their
Governor and asked her to declare a Proclamation. Reporters from newspapers,
radio and TV came to their school to see the Governor present an official
Proclamation for the International Day of Peace.
That
inspired the whole school to get involved. They wrote this letter
to the leaders of each of the more than 191 nations:
"Dear President,"
or "Dear Prime Minister," or "Dear King," or "Dear Queen," if that
was the case, "We, the children of the world, are tired of all the
wars, tired of all the killing and suffering. Please support a Global
Ceasefire on the International Day of Peace, and join the world in
celebrating September 21 as a day of peace in our homes, our communities
and between nations. Thank you and May Peace Prevail On Earth."
