International Day of Peace
In our present day world, there is much stress around us. Every person is fighting a hidden battle while trying to put on a brave front. There is a sense of struggle and each human heart longs for Peace.
It is with this in mind; we tried to spread the message of Peace to all our people at the skill training centers, settlements and collected a few in our office.
We began by calling upon the name of the Almighty, closing our eyes and getting in touch with our deepest selves, praying for peace in our hearts, our homes, our neighborhood, our state, our world at large. We stretched out our hands and sent peace vibrations to our town world and praying for Peace. Lastly, we crossed our hands over our chest and prayed in the silence of our hearts for Peace in our hearts.
After which there was a very interactive and healthy conversation among the community. Many of them spoke about how we fight and argue for small things, when we die everything is left behind. It was a realization that all of us need to come to terms with. But to hear this from the simple people was also a confirmation that humanity is the same.
At our centers, the young girls depicted through drawing and colors the longing for Peace, they spent at least a good two hours listening at first and then with the help of colors making putting their deeper thoughts. Some of them spoke up about the need for Peace and how we need to celebrate this every year as well.
After some refreshments, the group in the office dispersed with a pledge to live in Peace.
