The
Peace Kids are still working hard to spread the message. They're
definitely not alone! The International Day of Peace is being
promoted by an international movement of people of all ages
and nationalities. And the Peace Kids would love for you to
join them. Their efforts began with their wish for a better
world for us all. They started in their homes, helping make
peace in their families, then in their cities and towns, spreading
the word from one person to another.
The
campaign for humanity's first day of peace grew and spread
all around the world. The idea was contagious!
This
year for Peace Day, some people will be organizing peace fairs
and festivals and assemblies. Others will be planting peace
poles that share the message 'May Peace Prevail On Earth'
in many different languages. Some will plant peace gardens.
Everywhere people will try to cooperate together to build
bonds of community and bridges of understanding.
With
your help, September 21 will be the biggest Peace Day ever
this year. Every one of us can make a difference!
What
creative things can you do to help share the spirit of peace
on September 21 ... in your home, your town, or your country?
Remember,
Peace is more than the absence of war. It is learning to respect
ourselves, each other and the planet we share. And it begins
with each of us, ONE DAY at a time....
May Peace Prevail On Earth
