The International Day of Peace ("Peace Day") provides an opportunity for
 individuals, organizations and nations to create practical acts of 
peace on a shared date. It was established by a United Nations 
resolution in 1981 to coincide with the opening of the General Assembly.
 
The first Peace Day was celebrated in September 1982.Since its 
inception, Peace Day has marked our personal and planetary progress 
toward peace. It has grown to include millions of people in all parts of
 the world, and each year events are organized to commemorate and 
celebrate this day. 
Events range in scale from private 
gatherings to public concerts and forums where hundreds of thousands of 
people participate. Anyone, anywhere can celebrate Peace Day. It can be 
as simple as lighting a candle at noon, or just sitting in silent 
meditation. Or it can involve getting your co-workers, organization, 
community or government engaged in a large event. The impact if millions
 of people in all parts of the world, coming together for one day of 
peace, is immense. 
May Peace Prevail On Earth.For further information, please contact Edison Ricket at 082-449126 or Geneve Belantau Vendrick at 082-442000 (Ext: 331).
