Peace One Day Jeremy Gilley

http://www.peaceoneday.org/en/welcome

We're building the biggest call for peace the world has ever seen:

Global Truce 2012 and we want you to be part of it!

Each year, 21 September marks Peace Day;

a day for wide-scale community action, and a day for UN agencies

and aid organisations to safely carry out life-saving work.

What have we done so far?

By 2007 - 100 million people have been active

on Peace Day (source UNDPI).

Peace Day 2007 - Peace One Day ambassador Jude Law and

founder Jeremy Gilley traveled to Afghanistan to spearhead

a campaign that has resulted in 4.5 million children being vaccinated

against polio in previously unreachable areas.

Peace Day 2008 - UN Department of Safety and Security recorded a

70% reduction in violent incidents in Afghanistan on Peace Day.

Peace Day 2010 - WHO/UNICEF/Afghan Ministry of Public Health

vaccinated over 50,000 children and women in

23 locations against all vaccine-preventable diseases.

They also launched a nationwide polio campaign

targeting 8 million children across Afghanistan.

And the future?

For Peace Day 2012, we're calling for a day of

ceasefire and non-violence - a Global Truce.

We want 21 September 2012 to be the largest reduction in

global violence in recorded history, both domestically and internationally.

We know that this is an ambitious aim,

but we believe that each individual has the power to make a difference

if we all come together, we can change the world, one day at a time.

Take the first step to peace

Time will not erase me, nor will distance, indifference and denial…take from me all things outside of me and even all the parts of me you see, but you will never claim my soul. Cover my mouth and bind my hands but you will never silence me or hold me down for I am eternally free…inside of me there is a garden you will never enter, not with your force nor your brutality, you can bury my body but you will bury never my spirit...Inside of me there is a garden and I am eternally free...Melanie Lee, Artwork for Freedom Art Exhibition, Tap Gallery Darlinghurst in support of Amnesty International.

I'm organizing an exhibition, would you like to be involved? Im seeking women who are interested in exhibiting a work related to what could possibly be a lil controversial...
The theme is VAGINA, yes I'm serious. An exhibition dedicated to the sexuality and sensuality of women.

The journey's, the myths, the controversy...what it means to be a woman and to have a vagina, the way it has shaped and hindered us and affected us and our lives...

Obviously it will be a very personal project in terms of how each woman feels and thinks about themselves and their sexuality-sensuality, what their life experiences may have been and in what way they wish to express themselves.

Whether its in the form of a painting, photography, drawing, sculpting, sewing, writing or whatever other medium they choose to exhibit, abstract or realistic...Tis open to each artists own unique interpretation.

Certainly works can be for sale or not for sale...
The exhibition will be held at the Tap Gallery for one week 12th - 18th September.
Each exhibitor will need to pay a fee to enter the exhibition $40 to cover costs associated.

The gallery will take a % of $ for any artworks sold, I am also hoping to raise awareness for and arrange a % of $ for a related cause...Yet to be decide?

At present I am organizing numbers and interest, so get back to me as soon as you can and let me know if you or anyone you know would like to be involved?

HOPE'

2010-03-08T11:56:00.000-08:00

Then there was Hope

Coming up over the horizon like a brillant sunrise, hope returned.

Where have you been? she questioned.

I’ve felt so lost without you.

I have wandered through the valley of misery and swam in a sea of despair.

When you left, you took Faith with you, life has been difficult and I have suffered, said the girl.

Hope just smiled it’s glorious smile and spread it’s warm and lovely light all over her.

The girl breathed a deep and welcome sigh of relief.

After some time Hope spoke…

I may have disappeared a while but I see that you have survived on Courage.

Courage has served you well in my absence.

In through that suffering you have grown and surrendered to yourself, replied Hope.

In time you will see I have given you the gift of time and space to come to know yourself, all that you are, all that you are capable of feeling and how you wish to live.

In doing so you welcome and appreciate my return.

Now we will travel side by side and faith has become your friend.
