Dear Friends,


Hello everyone. I hope you’re having a great day. We’re now going to talk about a special day called Peace Day, which is on 21 September every year.


Peace Day is a day of ceasefire – this means a day when people don’t fire guns and there are no wars. It is also a day of non-violence – this means that people everywhere don’t fight or argue, and children aren’t bullied. I created this day with my friends and my family. We asked the world leaders to create a special day when all the countries of the world agree not to fight. It’s like your birthday - a day when everyone comes together all over the world to celebrate Peace.


We all want fighting to stop, don’t we? We want fighting to stop between countries, and in the areas that we live. We want fighting to stop in our homes and in our schools. And that’s what Peace Day is all about; it’s a day when fighting stops and everyone cares about each other. Some young people will do things in their schools with their teachers, like painting pictures of what peace looks like, or playing sport for peace and most importantly, making sure that on Peace Day everybody is friendly towards each other. And that’s what peace is. Peace is about caring for one another. Peace is making sure that no one’s fighting around you, that nobody is frightened or scared. Peace is protecting each other from scary things. You can protect your friends; make sure everyone in your school and in your home is happy on Peace Day.


You can do anything you want to make Peace Day special. You could make a cake and decorate it with peace pictures. You could hold a football match or sing a song. Why don’t you start planning now what you’ll do on Peace Day 21 September with your teacher and your family, and ask your teacher to tell us here at Peace One Day all about it. Have a great day, goodbye for now.


In peace


Jeremy Gilley Founder, Peace One Day
