A year has completed a busy year. Personally many emotions and changes, some sad, for members of our group has been more or less the same, the stress of a difficult year, multiple trips and new friendships and folded. Suddenly we arrived in August, and our annual convention took form and substance in the beautiful and historic port of Valparaiso. Tomorrow begins a new meeting with friends, a beautiful exhibition (open to anyone wishing to visit in the City), workshops, joys and challenges. And all the better start with a calling for peace and an end to the wars in the world.
August 6 recalls the fall of the first atomic bomb in human history, in the city of Hiroshima in 1945, killing at that time to 120 thousand people and contaminated with radiation over 300 thousand more ... In this date around the world gather individuals who symbolically hang paper cranes to demand peace to our authorities and proclaim as the path of humanity, following the example of a 11 year old Japanese girl named Sadako, who wanted to fold a thousand of these figures and pray for all victims of war, and yet died of radiation in October 1955 without achieving its mission.This Thursday will post thousands of these figures in memory of Sadako, an act that is part of the World March for Peace and Nonviolence . The official ceremony will be held on August 6 at 12 pm in the plaza adjacent to Arco British Avenida Brasil. If you want to reach out and fold your crane or take I leave you the instructions for folding, is very simple and hopefully will be a colorful event to request a future with hope for world peace.
