Dear friends,

Yulia - one of Valerian's students in Russia - sent us her picture (PEACE ONE DAY 2010) with a sentence of deep wisdom. She wrote:

"You might snatch a lot by force yet you can get much more by agreement. It's for sure senseless to rule over the subdued people, but it's great to live in peace in the happy world!"

Recently, I discussed with many students of very different ages in some German schools in Hamburg on the theme: war - violence - peace. Suddenly a little boy (3rd grade, primary school) asked me: "Why many politicians don't understand what horrible things they do?" On this question politicians have always many, many answers but the teacher and I couldn't respond because truly - there is no answer to this question!

Below you find the smilebox of Todd's project for the International Peace Day tomorrow. I'll also send it to Jeremy UK (PEACE ONE DAY) this night so that we globally can share your students' pictures with a lot of other people outside of Todd's great project, too.
