Once
upon a time there were some kids who had a Dream.
Their Dream was that someday the world would live in
peace.
These kids lived all around the world and they met each
other on the Internet. They
enjoyed cyber-chatting so much that they decided to
start a Kindness Team to talk about their hopes and
wishes for a more peaceful world.
They even set up their own website. The very first time
they typed the web address on their computers, something
strange and wonderful happened. They
actually found themselves together IN cyberspace!
Of course it was a little scary the very first time.
But it was fun. And they got used to it when it happened
the next time. And the time after that.
During their Kindness Team meetings the kids shared
ideas about how to help make their communities more
peaceful. And their projects really made a difference
back in the real world. But they'd pretty much come
to the conclusion that peace on earth was just too big
a task to ever really tackle.
During this meeting, however, Johnny had an interesting
idea. "Imagine,"
said Johnny, "if the world tried peace for a day, maybe
peace would stay."
"But
there is so much fighting in the world," Michiko told
him, "in our homes, in our neighborhoods and between
countries."
"Yes,"
Ahmed added, "people don't respect each other or the
planet. But maybe if the world tried to get along for
One Day, all that might change."
Peace
