Peace Tree Day Introduction

Peace Tree Day, inspired by the award-winning film The Peace Tree by Mitra Sen, is an annual festival for children and families of every culture and faith to celebrate peace and diversity TOGETHER! Children around the world are creating Peace Trees that highlight symbols from all our cultures and faiths on one tree to reflect the beauty of 'diversity in unity'. Peace Tree Day, which takes place on June 1st every year, is celebrated in cities, organizations, classrooms, homes and through school boards. The festival inspires children to take pride in their heritage and to share it with others, while also discovering the vibrant cultures, traditions and festivals arounds the world.

Students from diverse backgrounds will work together by combining elements from different cultures, to create new forms of art, which will help raise funds to assist underprivileged children around the globe.

YAYYY!!!!

Yesterday was wonderful! We went to this Brownie meeting and met these amazing and creative kids who were so enthusiastic in taking the WORLDWIDE POST CARD SHARING to the next level. Well, we first started this in SIRAGU as you all know and then it went across to Ontario, Canada (we haven't got the post cards from them yet, and we'll keep you posted once we do) and then now it was these kids from the Brownie meeting here in New Jersey, USA.
All we had to do was initially explain to the kids about our work at Siragu and the post card sharing and they showed so much interest and enthusiasm that brought instant happiness to all of us who were there!
You can view the Siragu kids' postcards here, here and here...
We cannot even begin to explain the eagerness of the kids and the love that came right across from their hearts, when they joyously accepted the cards from India and started doing their art work in turn for the kids across the world.
It is truly an experience each and everyone of us should strive to have at least once in our lifetime...
anybody could come into this postcard sharing...and kids especially can come and share any of their creative work in this platform...by this, we cannot imagine how many of them will have friends all over the world by the time they enter their senior grades...
It is a constant learning process for us as children are innocent and so loving by nature and have so much to offer to bring this world together..
So, once again we lovingly say...CHILDREN OF THE WORLD, UNITE!!

This is the first set of post cards that were sent across the Planet and is just the beginning to the wonderful chain of Love and Peace and it has started in one part of the Planet! The kids will make friends with their counterparts who live in other parts of the Planet and by the time they grow up, they will have friends all over the world, erase differences, share knowledge and thoughts and create a better world for all of us to live in!!! These post cards have gone to the public school in Ontario, Canada and the kids there have already started getting in touch with the Siragu kids. They would be having another session of the WWPCS (as you all know that it stands for World Wide Post Card Sharing) and send the cards across the Planet!

Wings Of Evolution - World Wide Postcard Sharing

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 03 Feb 2007 16:58:00 +0000

This workshop was conducted with 150 kids between the ages 4-11, to paint whatever they liked, for children in other parts of the World. Similarly, other workshops will be conducted in other parts of the world where children from different countries and cultures would express their thoughts through art and share with the kids all over the world.

The postcards would then be posted on this blog for world wide access so that messages are exchanged and shared. The idea behind that was to get them to make friends with kids across the globe, thereby promoting global peace and understanding in the long run. So from the comfort of their homes or classrooms, children can now exchange their cultures and thoughts towards creating a truly universal philosophy.

This workshop would be a great step ahead for the children of tomorrow's world and with like-minded people the world can be transformed through children to bring about a more peaceful co-existence.
