International Peace Day - 9/21



this is the peace one day project i did with my students. got some rocks donated, every student at my school decorated them, i read them the book, "Peace One Day", by Jeremy Gilley, we watched the documentary (the Day After Peace), then i took all of the rocks and gave one to over 100 businesses in town to promote awareness about the day and spread the peace... hope you enjoy:)

  2. thanks karin! our first comment - so exciting! yup - my feet and back still hurt from my excursion around ridgefield yesterday, but it was so worth it. i met some really interesting people and got lots of smiles and support. it was a drop in the bucket compared to jeremy gilley's 10 years of non stop work to get this day going and succeed with his mission of nonviolence and cease-fire! lots of love and peace, jennifer

  4. What a wonderful story...I watched local news yesterday, network news and listened to Free Speech radio and not a mention of this important day. It's good to know that you shared with children...they are our future peacemakers.
