Make me a channel of your peace Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope Where there is darkness, only light And where there's sadness, ever joy. Chorus: Make me a channel of your peace It is in pardoning that we are pardoned In giving to all men that we receive And in dying that we're born to eternal life. Chorus: Note: The Pledge of Nonviolence can be taken in a family, a group, a community followed by appending the signatures. They follow up with monthly/ quarterly meeting to check on the practice of what is pledged to support each other to become more peaceable people.

{21 Sept: International day of Peace) Introduction : (for International day of Peace) {The International Day of Peace, observed each year on 21 September since 1982, is a global call for ceasefire and non-violence. The Day is commemorated through education and public awareness on issues related to peace. Peace doesnt just happen it must be nurtured, maintained and defended. Peace is not just the absence of conflict and violence, but a positive presence. Educating for and about all aspects of peace constitutes peace education. Peacekeeping, peace making and peace building through reconciliation, mediation, justice, tolerance and harmony among peoples and nations is a definite step towards building peace. "Since wars began in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men [and women] that the defenses of peace must be constructed.}
