Did you know that September 21st is the International Day of Peace?
Established by a United Nation’s resolution
in 1981 and designated for September 21st in 2001, the International Day of Peace is still largely unobserved…. What can we do in our communities to help celebrate this world day?Â
With our positive actions we can contribute. Peace walks & parades, prayers, meditations, peace pledges, vigils, storytelling & concerts; in our schools, libraries, places of worship, at work and with friends. This day is a gift that we can share.WHO CAN YOU TELL? HOW CAN YOU CELEBRATE?
“According to the Peace One Day organization, last year’s Day of Peace (2007) resulted in roughly 1.4 million children receiving inoculations and helped establish a mass polio vaccination program in Afghanistan, reaching children they otherwise would not have been able to as they are living in Taliban-controlled areas.” –Source: BBC, Jude Law Gives Peace Day a Chance Said Mr. Law: “The message is simple. What will you do to make peace on 21 September?”
