We can't live without peace. We need peace to survive. Peace is also linked to development, when there is no peace, there is no development. For example, there are countries who have land mines some where in their lands or farms or schools. We can't build a school or any buildings for medical service because the land mines will explode during their constructing. All the farmers, workers and children are always worried because wherever they are standing, there could be a land mine somewhere. So, a place like Africa or Laos, there can't be any development because of the land mines. Also, in a lot of war zones, there are child soldiers who weren't educated, and they have to watch and do the violent things like burning people and torturing people. Sometimes, the girl soldiers are sexually abused and it takes a huge amount of time to rehabilitate these young soldiers because their minds are all messed up and terrified. To make developments, the children have to go to school so that they can think deeper. We can't leave those children in a place with horror like war zones.
From our peace day 2009, our global issues class raised RM 1,800!!! That is a lot of money to help people to get food, get vaccination, and get their children to go to the school. I am very proud of the amount of money that we raised and also i am proud of myself because I took a part in this activity.
