<b><font face="Arial" size="2" color="#000080">Dear
Educator,</font></b><font face="Arial, default"><br>
<br>
<font size="2" color="#000080"><b>As you know since September
11 the world has irreversibly changed. We feel
that the lessons of this tragedy have not yet been learned. The same
problems we face every day in our schools are translating to the
unresolved
fear and hatred that currently divides nations.<br>
<br>
We would like to transform September 11, 2002 into an
anniversary of
peace. A day when every person advances the process of reconciliation
and peace within themselves. It is a simple concept that “Peace begins
with Me”: that no matter what we do, the first steps to lasting world
peace begin in our homes, our schools and then finally, our
governments.<br>
<br>
<i>‘We must be the change we wish to see’ – M.K. Gandhi</i><br>
<br>
The World’s Biggest Hug for Peace already has united thousands of
people
around the globe in the simplest possible expression of peace
and
unity – a hug. Seven different one minute activities for
schools are
also offered, as well as lesson plans on the theme of Peace.
The
focus will be on developing the uncomplicated theme that “Peace
Begins with Me”.</b></font></font><p style="text-indent: 2;
