FOCUS ON PEACE
To me peace means brotherhood. Peace means interrelationship and peace means to live happily. Nowadays it is very difficult to find peacein this world but i found it when I was working for this peace project. We were all of different religions, cultures and different opinions. But we worked together with a lot of understanding and then I realized that if we children can work together even though we are from different religions then why can’t the world. This peace movement is an excellent step towards bringing peace and harmony to the country first and then the world at large. Now, let me tell you something about what we did to promote peace in our school first. Our library teacher Meena ma’am gave us great support and technical help by arranging for a Peace Board and a Peace Corner for us. Our first peace assignment was on Mahatma Gandhi. We visited the house of M.K.Gandhi in Bombay, ‘Mani Bhavan’ to know more about him. We clicked many pictures and studied his ideals. I could fell the presence of the Mahatma in the house. Mani Bhavan is so silent and peaceful it gives you a sense of inner tranquility. After visiting Mani Bhavan we came back to school. We started are work by putting are ideas together on the Peace Board. Then we created a collage on M.K.Gandhi’s life and wrote down his sayings. His sayings are so selfless and for the good of humanity that you feel like practicing them. After all the work was completed and the decoration was done the final day came when the Consul General of the United States of America came to visit are school. We asked him to inaugurate our Peace Corner and explained to him what we had done. He was impressed by our work. Then we proceeded towards the hall were an entertainment programme emphasizing Peace was held for the Consul General. He was honoured by our school and the ‘Lions Clubs International’. Then he spoke to us and enlightened us about Peace and about the importance of Dayton and its Peace Museum. His speech will always be remembered by us. It was an excellent day filled with peace, harmony and hope for the future.
