QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Summer afternoon - summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.

New Poll: voting ends next Thursday, January 28

I have added a poll to know which song you would like to listen to (and sing) for Peace day.

The “School Day of Non-violence and Peace” (DENIP), founded in 1964 and also known as World or International Day of Non-violence and Peace, is a pioneering, non-state, non-governmental, non-official, independent, free and voluntary initiative of Non-violent and Pacifying Education, which is now practised in schools all over the world and in which centres of education, teachers and students of all levels and from all countries are invited to take part.

It advocates a permanent education in and for harmony, tolerance, solidarity, respect for human rights, non-violence and peace.
It is observed on January 30 or thereabouts every year, on the anniversary of the death of Mahatma Gandhi. In countries with a Southern Hemisphere school calendar, it can be observed on March 30 or thereabouts.
Its basic message is: “Universal Love, Non-violence and Peace. Universal Love is better than egoism, Non-violence is better than violence, and Peace is better than war”.

You can listen to the songs on youtube by clicking on the titles:

Seven Seconds

One Love

Where is the love

Heal the world

Give Peace a Chance

What's going on

Why can't we be friends?
