Send a Message or Prayer of Peace. It will take you about 60 seconds, maybe a little longer. All you have to do is follow this link to our website: www.wagingpeace.org/sadako_message.htm

Next month, we will hold our 13th Annual Sadako Peace Day. Your message of peace will become part of our annual recognition of the Japanese girl named Sadako Sasaki who inspired efforts toward peace around the world – even as she was dying from the effects of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

This is what the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation will do with your message:

List it on our website.
Choose a selection of messages to read at our Sadako Peace Day Ceremony on August 9th.
Send all the messages of peace we receive to the President of the United States of America.

In this way, you can follow Sadako’s inspiration, and write out your hopes for peace so they may fly all over the world (via the Internet). See Sadako’s story at 2007/sadako_be_a_messenger.htm...

People often ask us how they can increase the peace. Sadako showed us one way. She never relinquished her hope for a better world. All we need to do is follow her lead.

One voice can become a powerful force for change when it joins millions of others all seeking the same thing.

8th Annual Interfaith Hiroshima-Nagasaki Day Prayer Vigil:
Mobilization of Communities for the Elimination of design, manufacture, use and proliferation of Weapon of Mass Destruction
On August 6, 1945 first time ever Atomic Bomb was used to kill the innocent human beings, men, women and children, residents of Hiroshima and as if it was not enough, on August 9, 1945 another Atomic Bomb was used to kill the innocent residence of Nagasaki. We should always remember these days and the horror of war especially the horror of nuclear devastation. We should mobilize our communities at home and in the world to rise up against the design, manufacture, use and proliferation of Weapon of Mass Destruction including chemical, biological, and Nuclear weapon and the use of Depleted Uranium. War is a deception! And it does not solve any problem and issue. It only kills innocent people and spread devastation across this earth.
