One World, One People, One Voice, One Love For Humanity

My daughter Greta Georges (www.gretageorges.com) and I Sunflower Chong are the founders of World Harmony Day, an event designed to reiterate the fact that we must value human lives and learn how to share this "One World" for peace and harmony to prevail.

We have marked World Harmony Day every year since 20 February 2002. All World Harmony Day asks is for people wherever they are to remember this day of "The Consciousness" or "Social Responsibility" as my daughter would prefer to put it, on 20th February at
20:02 and to annually observe a "2 minutes Peace Silence"- Visual is very powerful. This act is not only symbolic but most importantly it will bring great hope to the rest of the world who care.

1 min for "World Peace" the 2nd min for "Our Own Peace".

True Harmony happens when not only our soul interacts with GOD but when we are able to manifest it in a meaningful way with our fellow beings and touch them, to inspire them and to live in a more joyful, harmonious way...

Doing an event like WHD is about giving oneself to society to uplift the moral and spirit of the people…world harmony is about a spirit, a spirit of willingness from each and everyone of us to understand to respect and to uplift the others around us…humans, animals, plants…a spirit, which makes choices based on the harmony of the world (planet). It is a spirit of peace, gratitude, righteousness… the spirit of loving-kindness.

The fourth World Harmony Day (2005) will be held on 20th February 2005 (Sunday) at Fountain of Wealth, Suntec City, from 7.30pm to 830pm. This night is dedicated to the “Tsunami Remembrance Ceremony”.

Many people said that the Tsunami had brought us together as one world but that is not really true, why? The Tsunami stirred the human conscious, it is the "Collective Consciousness" that has brought the world together as One People, One Voice and One Love as we share the same belief and value – We have only One World and we have to learn how to share this world and to value human lives, which World Harmony Day is prophesizing and that is our vision for World Harmony Day.

World Harmony Day 2005 will build on this collective consciousness, thus the theme will be “One World, One People, One Voice One Love For Humanity”. The Tsunami Relief Love Movement Tee designed by Pebbles Lim a student from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) is encouraged to be worn on World Harmony Day, 20th February 2005 as a sign of solidarity.

The cost of the tee is $15 and all the proceeds will be donated to Worldvision International
(www.worldvision.org.sg) to aid the needs of the affected countries. The cause of Love Movement Tee transcends beyond just the act of fund raising itself; it is a message to remind people of the humanity and compassion in them, and that they are able to make a difference in the world. Peace, harmony, unity, love and respect are embraced when we come together in aid.

President Nathan pointed the way forward for Singapore and his first priority is to secure Singapore's place in the world - by nurturing relations with other, being a good citizen and taking active part in international efforts. World Harmony Day is one such act that will bring Singapore goodwill, and with the support and understanding from the corporate world and Government, World Harmony Day knows no boundary.

The highlights of the event will include performances and recitals of Peace & Love; Reverie, a youth band will perform their original songs; performances by part time Perfect 10 DJ Ms Magdalene See, MINDS and people from the Singapore Association for the Deaf, who will provide sign language support for the performance. Organizations like YMCA, YWCA, MINDS, Singapore Association for the Deaf, Breast Cancer Foundation will all be invited to attend this event, to promote awareness and develop a harmonious relationship with each other.

There will not be any guest of honor, but people from all walks of life will be attending and they are encouraged to bring their own candles as a symbol of hope and remembrance for the 2 minutes observance of Peace Silence.

If you could send a reporter and/or photographer to cover World Harmony Day 2005, it would definitely make a difference. Programme of the evening is attached.

Thank you for your kind attention.
