“Peace is an acronym of: Protect.. Educate.. Aid Children Everywhere.”
School Day of Non-violence and Peace is observed in schools worldwide, on January 30 to motivate tomorrow’s citizens to find non-violent solutions to conflicts.
This day reminds us of the teachings of pacifists and advocates of non -violence, including Mahatma Gandhi, who was assassinated on January 30,1948 for his beliefs. He believed in non-violent resistance against injustice. His teachings continue to inspire millions around the world, and his message that peace is achievable through non-violent action, is a food for thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
