HAPPY SCHOOL DAY OF NON-VIOLENCE AND PEACE


The School Day of Non-violence and Peace was founded by the Spanish educator and poet Lorenzo Vidal Vidal in 1964. It is observed on January 30th every year, on the anniversary of the death of Gandhi. Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) was a political and spiritual leader who became the international symbol of a free India through a non-violent revolution and passive resistance. He said:
"If we are to teach real peace in this world… we shall have to begin with the children".
Now, please, watch this video: from the award-winning documentary, "Playing For Change", comes an incredible reedition of the legendary Bob Marley song "One Love". Street musicians from all over the world singing and playing this song together to promote peace through music. Simply marvellous!
