International Peace Day
We have all been shocked and saddened by the tragic events in Gaza, Iraq and Syria. As violence intensifies and extremists continue to make threats against us in the west, we debate Australia's military involvement in the Middle East. At this time we must remember great leaders of the past. From Gandhi, to Jesus, Mandela, to Luther King Jr, they have all told us - that violence only ever creates more violence - that the only way to peace is through peace - and that to truly overcome an enemy we must love them.
For International Peace Day, please join thousands of ERA For Changers to send your own personal message of peace to the people of the middle east on your own hand-made origami peace dove (it's easy!). Simply download and print the dove template here, and follow the instructions. Get your friends / teachers / family to do the same, and then send your completed doves back to us at the address listed below. We will then send them all over to the conflict zones so people living there know that we Aussies care about them and that they are in our thoughts and prayers.
We can play a huge role in bringing peace to the world by flooding the middle east with our messages of love and peace for all those involved. We want to support and be in solidarity with the victims of violence, but also to appeal in compassion to those would-be perpetrators of violence - those who see us in the west as only wanting to do them harm. Make your message full of positive, loving, peaceful language / images, and make sure you say it is from Australia.
See the video below for instructions on how to make your dove.
