Today is the international day of peace!


Where does peace come from? Peace comes from each individual. We are the heart and the beginning of peace. One person that shares and offers peace is the start of a new gift!

In 1981 the United Nations General Assembly passed resolution 36/67 declaring an International Day of Peace. In 2001, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a new resolution 55/282 declaring 21 September of each year as the International Day of Peace.

The resolution: "Declares that the International Day of Peace shall henceforth be observed as a day of global ceasefire and non-violence, an invitation to all nations and people to honour a cessation of hostilities for the duration of the Day...

“Invites all Member States, organizations of the United Nations system, and non-governmental organizations and individuals to commemorate, in an appropriate manner, the International Day of Peace, including through education and public awareness, and to cooperate with the United Nations in the establishment of the global ceasefire.”

One of my favorite song about peace is by Modern Talking, "Give me peace on earth" it really made me feel like serving my country and giving peace around!
