Peace Tree Day Introduction

Peace Tree Day is an annual festival for children and families of every culture and faith to celebrate peace, diversity and fusion through the arts!

Children around the world are creating Peace Trees that highlight symbols from all our cultures and faiths on one tree to reflect the beauty of 'diversity in unity'.

Peace Tree Day, which takes place on June 1st every year, is celebrated in cities, organizations, classrooms, homes and through school boards. The festival inspires children to take pride in their heritage and to share it with others, while also discovering the vibrant cultures, traditions and festivals arounds the world. It is also a time to encourage young people to share their talents and develop compassion for others. Students from diverse backgrounds will work together by combining elements from different cultures, to create new forms of art, which will help raise funds to assist underprivileged children around the globe. Peace Tree Day will inspire young people to contribute to society while they explore and celebrate the beauty of every culture and faith to create peace in our world.

It's officially Peace Tree Day today and children and youth in schools in many cities in Canada and around the world are celebrating and sending their prayers for peace for the children and families in Syria. This year schools in Russia organized their first Peace Tree Day celebrations and created their first Peace Tree that highlights the symbols of all our cultures and faiths TOGETHER.

We read about the little boy in Syria who saw his entire family being killed in front of him while he pretended to be dead. I cannot even imagine what this little boy had to go through and how he is surviving today. It makes us all realize why it is so important for each of us to do whatever we can to ensure our children grow in peace; to help them understand peace, embrace peace and find new ways to create peace, so they can one day live in peace...

As Jimi Hendrix once said so beautifully...

'When the power of love, overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.'

And as Mahatma Gandhi said so wisely...

'If we are to create peace in our world, we must begin with our children.'

I hope this little boy's call for help will inspire children and families around the world to see how we can work together to stop the violence and unite in peace...
