Gallery of students work to celebrate Peace Day

















Today is a very special day - UN International Day Of Peace.

And to celebrate, Jeremy Gilley, has set up an organisation called Peace One Day - the idea behind it is this:

"To us, 21 September is a 24 hour-long platform for life-saving activities around the world and an opportunity for individuals - particularly young people - to become involved in the peace process. 21 September is the UN International Day of Peace, a day of global ceasefire and non-violence: Peace Day."

Our motto is Peace Through Education, so we are delighted to present this gallery of work from the Afghan refugee children whose education we support in Quetta, Pakistan.

The work speaks for itself and we hope you will be moved to keep in touch with us - we are small and friendly and would love to meet you!

We want to tell the world about our amazing and dedicated students who believe that educating themselves is the path to peace. So please send a link to this page to your friends, befriend us on Facebook www.facebook.com/trustsulha follow us on Twitter www.twitter.com/trustsulha or email us via info@trustsulha.org.uk

We are always busy finding ways to support our schools. On Saturday, September 18th, we held a Tea and Trinkets sale that raised £486.94 (amazing, thanks all!) and we are now preparing for our major annual fundraiser, Dance For Peace, which takes place at the Playhouse Theatre, Whitstable on Saturday, October 2nd. We are currently revamping our new website and finally...

...to coincide with Peace One Day, we have launched a campaign called Change In A Jar. Its easy, we give you one of our jars (see above!), you kindly fill it with loose change, then return it to us or contact us for our bank details, pay it in and every penny will change a life. If you live far away, you can always request stickers for your own jar and we will post them to you.

But enough! We are here for the Peace One Day 2010 Trust Sulha gallery and we hope you enjoyed it. Let us know what you think...
