Peace Day

Since I was a child, I have been celebrating Peace Day every year. On this day, people do different activities related to this topic. At school, children make crafts, such as paper doves with peace messages written on them. They usually learn songs and they do activities inside and outside their classroom.

All of these things are really cool, but some people don´t know what Peace Day means. In many countries, as Irak, Iran, North Korea, they are in war with other countries. It´s terrible, because some innocent people die, and other people become poor. Today there are less wars than there were in the past, but there are wars too. On Peace Day we celebrate that we have peace in our country and with other countries. So it´s a pretty good day that we must celebrate every year!
