WILL YOU JOIN US FOR PEACE WEEK AND PEACE DAY?

People from around the world are sharing what they will be doing to celebrate the International Day of Peace on the 21st of September and to observe the 11 Days of Global Unity (9/11-9/21).  

On the 21st of September, Jeremy Gilley, creator of Peace One Day, reports that there will be peace walks in Tijuana, cycling in Kampala, football matches in Manila, prayers for peace in Jerusalem, flashmobs in London, festivals in Sydney, DJ sets in Dar es Salaam, roundtable debates with politicians in Moscow, distribution of fuel efficient stoves in IDP camps and vaccinations in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), water backpack distribution in Marsabit, Kenya, concerts in Kigali and Bujumbura, food drops and much more - this is only a tiny sample of what people are doing to mark Peace Day. The Casady Community Service-Learning Program in collaboration with the YAC Peace Team responded to the biggest call for peace the world has ever seen with promotion of the Compassion Games during the 11 Days of Global Unity through acts of kindness, compassion and service.

Showcasing global activation on Peace Day, this celebration will be headlined by five-time Grammy Award-nominated recording artist Akon, with performances from regional artists Lexxus Legal, Dety Darba, traditional drummers Sango’a, and comedian Mzee Mbukuli.  You can watch the celebration LIVE and FREE via the Peace One Day YouTube channel at the following link:
