Spread the peace

Sunday, August 17th, 2008

Hello peeps,

This blog post isn’t strictly student related but it does relate to you as a person and an individual. If you read my last blog post you’ll read my little ditty about how important it is to create a vision of your life and then live it.

Well, I found a guy who has truly done that.

His name is Jeremy Gilley and he is the founder of the first ever Peace Day which consists of the an annual day of cease fire and no-violence. During this day aid agencies going into war zones and offer relief in the form of medicine and food for the ill and hungry.

Jeremy saw his vision of this peace day and summoned everything in his power to make it happen. Using his filmmaker skills and passionate personality he managed to involve the likes of Jude Law and Angelina Jolie in his campaign.

The 21st of September also signifies a day for those not in a war zone to have a day of non-violence. No more shouting at friends, no more stabbing, no more violence within the home. It is a day of true peace, to value what it is to be human.
