Just for a laugh

We can see Hitler just wanted Peace, or "piece"?




I don't want war.
All I want is peace. Peace.
Peace!
A little piece of Poland
A little piece France
A little piece of Portugal
And Austria perchance
A little slice of Turkey
And all that that entails
Und then a piece of England Scotland
lreland and Wales

Nobody's allowed here
during a performance!

A little nip of Norway
A little spot of Greece
A little hunk of Hungary
Oh what a lovely feast
A little bite of Belgium
And now for some dessert
Armenia Albania
And Russia wouldn 't hurt

We're from the foreign office.
We must see Bronski.
I'm sorry, sir, but you can't.
He's on-stage.

A little piece of Poland
A little piece of France
A little piece of lndia
And Pakistan perchance

School Day of Non-violence and Peace

The School Day of Non-violence and Peace (DENIP from Catalan-majorcan: Dia Escolar de la No-violència i la Pau), is an observance founded by the Spanish poet Llorenç Vidal Vidal in Majorca in 1964.It is observed on January 30 or thereabouts every year, on the anniversary of the death of Mahatma Gandhi, in schools all over the world . Its basic and permanent message is: "Universal love, non-violence and peace. Universal love is better than egoism, non-violence is better than violence, and peace is better than war".In countries with a Southern Hemisphere school calendar, it can be observed on March 30 or thereabouts. In Navarra the slogan for the 2009 was "above all, we are friends" (Spanish:"Por encima de todo, somos amigos").DENIP and World Association of Early Childhood Educators (AMEI-WAECE)

I have a dream.....

Today, January 17th is Martin Luther King's Day.

A good idea is to revise part of his famous speech in Washington D.C in 1963. Spot the differences.....

International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women

25 November : Why do we celebrate it on this particular day? Read and you'll find the answer.

In 1999, the UN General Assembly designated 25 November as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. Violence against women and girls is a problem of pandemic proportions. At least one out of every three women around the world has been beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime - with the abuser usually someone known to her.

Women's activists have marked 25 November as a day against violence since 1981. The date commemorates the brutal assassination of the three Mirabal sisters, political activists in the Dominican Republic, in 1960 on orders of Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo (1930-1961).

ELLIS ISLAND

Ellis Island is an island in New York Bay off Manhattan Island. First it was used as an arsenal and a fort; but from 1892 until 1943 it served as the main US centre for immigration control. It became part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument. More than twelve million immigrants passed through Ellis Island; it has been estimated that close to 40 percent of all current U.S. citizens can trace at least one of their ancestors to Ellis Island.
