Ring Of Peace

Happy #InternationalDayOfPeace ! Today we send our Message of Peace round the world. The Message of Peace 2018 is: "Peace comes from our faith in our mission in life. We are created to construct the Universe." The winner is Nouf Aldossary from Saudi Arabia.

Today is #PeaceDay! #PeaceOneDay Ambassador Jude Law and Jeremy Gilley MBE send a #PeaceDay message. We want to thank everyone for participating. There's still time to get involved, utilise your social media and spread the word. Who will you make peace with today, on 21 September?

It was an absolute joy to call this marvelous group of kids in New Jersey and pass on this year’s Message of Peace.

This year's winning #messageofpeace comes from Karla Swanepoel, South Africa. The message is: "Where walls were put to divide, we will search for the heart which we all share." All day today, the #InternationalDayOfPeace we are sharing our message around the world!

“Pay them more, celebrate them, and ultimately allow them opportunities to grow and become Prime Ministers of their countries” was Justin Trudeau ‘s reply to my question how we raise the status of teachers, given he was one once. Thanked him for his support for the Global Teacher Prize.

It’s #TimeToTalk but also time to really listen to each other

The basic foundation of humanity is compassion and love. This is why, if even a few individuals simply try to create mental peace and happiness within themselves and act responsibly and kind-heartedly towards others, they will have a positive influence in their community.

Peace has a great deal to do with warm-heartedness and respect for the lives of others, avoiding doing them harm and regarding their lives as being as precious as our own. If, on that basis, we can also be of help to others, so much the better.
