Dear Friends,

I am delighted to invite you to join us for an inspiring day of remembrance and Peace. On Sunday August 5th, Universal Peace Day, we will be commemorating the anniversary of the dropping of the first atomic bomb. Our vision is to transform a tragic memory into a rededication to life, and a peaceful sustainable world where such tragedies are unthinkable.

We, The World is a Co-Sponsor of this event

This year, we are blessed to have hibakshua (survivor), Koji Kobayashi, who was 9 years old when the bomb dropped. In addition, musicians from Hiroshima and Nagasaki will be performing at this NYC day-long FREE event.

If you or your friends are in New York, I hope to see you there. If you will not be in NYC Sunday, please create Universal Peace Day wherever you are!
