OUR VISION:
To promote an understated way of being. To conform to love not a volatile compromise.
We wish to propagate the idea to put love at the forefront of every issue. When a person is confronted with hard times and abuse, one must learn to connect to the love within to change the state of things.
Peace can be achieved only when we as human beings understand that all the world's inhabitants have a special and unique place in the scheme of life.
We wish to spread this knowledge that life is so important. All of our family is important. Every color, sex and ethnicity is to be honored for we are one family together experiencing Life.
Violence is not the answer to end conflict. Whether it be in the home or abroad in war. We wish to teach and foster this idea to everyone we can. We hope to bring about a change in the hearts of many who claim to seek a just solution with the use of force as a solution.
Life is dear and without Love, it is meaningless.
We pray that through our work we can reach the heart of those who did not know peace existed. We pray that the artists through their love can touch the soul of those who need it most.
Make Peace through Love , the Rain to the Drought.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR HELPING MAKE THIS A WONDERFUL EVENT!!
Special Guests included BOBBY BANDIERA, Danny Nova, Christine Ohlman of Saturday Night Live & Carole Montgomery, comedian.
