Buenos Aires, Argentina.  Susi Reich

From Buenos Aires we are happy to  inform you about the two very important acts that we have held to celebrate the International Peace Day, on September 21st. 

  

At noon, members of Mil Milenios de Paz organization; Proyecto 3er. Milenio foundation; United Religions Initiative (URI); World Peace Prayer Society (WPPS), with the support of schools of Buenos Aires and the uptown area; the Buenos Aires Culture and Education state departments; Rotary International district 4890; and Pupi foundation, gathered together at the Jardín Japonés (Japanese Garden) of Buenos Aires, in order to remember this very special day.

     

During the act, all attendants paid respect to the International Peace Day with a minute of silence, said “May Peace Prevail on Earth”, danced circular dances and, in the end, threw white balloons to the air as a means of support. We have also tolled the Peace Bell, on its 50th. Anniversary.

The opening was held by María Costa Pinto –Information Director of U.N. In the afternoon, in name of Proyecto 3er. Milenio foundation, URI and WPPS, we were invited  to donate a Peace Pole in a widely spread act which took place at the Manzana de las luces (Lights Block) —en emblematic establishment of the Argentinian history. Many schools supported the motto “Join the crew” by holding a minute of silence at noon time.

It makes us proud to have contributed to aware the community about the relevance of Peace around the world. We thank you for your support and everlasting guidance.
