As part of 4th annual celebration of UN mandated \u2018Peace One Day\u2019 on September 21 \u2013 the International Day of Peace — KPK like other 120 member cities around the world would gather people, particularly students from high schools, colleges and universities to participate in the event in which one billion people around the world will participate.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have seen enough violence and bloodshed, let us give peace a chance here. We want to make people aware of the benefits using non-violence to accomplish peace with dignity, prosperity and justice,\u201d said Executive Director KPN, Bashir Ahmed Ghakhroo, grandson of Abdul Samad Ghakhroo.<\/p>\n

During the \u2018Peace One Day\u2019 event, students will speak on peace-related topics and peace-building measures in conflict zones like Kashmir.

\u201cOur organization endeavours to involve people in seminars, workshops on peace leadership training so that people can become ambassadors of peace,\u201d added Ghakhroo.<\/p>\n

\u201cKPN wants to put forth real image of people of Kashmir who basically believe in peaceful and non-violent means of resolving issues and problems. The organization wants to develop Samad Peace Academy,\u201d informed the organizers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to sow the seeds of peace in Kashmir by our small peace-building efforts and we hope our efforts would bear fruit of peace in future,\u201d added Ghakhroo.<\/p>\n
