INTERNATIONAL PEACE DAY CELEBRATIONS 2007
International Day of Peace, September 21st provides an opportunity for individuals, organizations and nations to create practical acts of peace on a given date. It is used to highlight the Decade for a culture of Peace and non-violence for the children of the world 2001 to 2010. The 21st September serves as a reminder and a living instrument in the service of peace to all people. It is the intention of the United Nations that the day of peace will be a constant peeling bell reminding us that our permanent commitment, above all interest or differences of any kind, is to peace.
In an effort to chronicle the ideals of peace, the ENO Tree Planting Activity was birthed. The tree is a symbol for environmental protection and international co-operation in the fields of education, cultural diversity, tolerance and peace.
This broad-based capacity building initiative that intends to foster a commitment of peace with our bio-physical environment was witnessed by the principal Mrs. Maureen Massiah, members of the student body and staff. There were also a number of special invitees, viz; (i) Ms. Madehoo and Ms. Dookie (Guyana Forestry Commission),
(ii) Ms. Browman and Ms. Monie (Environmental Protection Agency), (iv) Father Malcolm Rodigues, (v) Mrs. Lowe (Member of the Board of Governors) and (vi) Mrs. Mendes and Mrs. Persaud (Parent Teachers Association).
A musical rendition, “Hi and Hoe, we plant trees”, was delivered by members of the club while other members planted a Frangipani tree, as a symbol of peace, adjacent to the school’s peace pole. Peace pinwheels were inserted around this Frangipani tree.
