The Walk for Family Peace
The basic premise for ‘The Walk for Family Peace’ is that every individual has the power to affect their own circle of influence. When an individual is on ‘Purpose’ with their life, they have the power to affect everything and everyone they come in contact with. An individual can bring Peace and Harmony into their own life and in so doing touches others dramatically, their family, their friends, their workplace, and their community. It not only changes the quality of life for that individual, it also impacts the lives of those around them. Happy healthy well functioning families create happy healthy well functioning communities, which ultimately support governments and business communities to make decisions and polices that reflect a more humane society. Empower an individual to make the conscious decision to shows up in their own life in a way that promotes Peace and Harmony and you can change
the world.
The Walk for Family Peace will start from the Peace Park in Vancouver on April 6th 2007 (Good Friday) and finish in New York in front of the United Nations Building on or before October 26th between Canadian and American Thanksgiving. The route will be in the neighbourhood of 5800 kilometers. The Canadian portion of the walk will be from Vancouver through to Montreal and will cross into the US at that point. The US portion of the walk will go through New York State to New York City.
The purpose of The Walk for Family Peace is to raise awareness around, and focus on, the need to create healthy nurturing family environments. Although creating a healthy well functioning family requires individual commitment and effort, it also requires means and support. The intention is to create the
‘One Step Foundation’ which will a support system and make tools available to empower individuals to make the changes in their own lives that will help to bring it about. “Be the change you wish to see” Gandhi.
'The Walk for Family Peace’ will culminate in front of the United Nations building in New York. It is the intention to create enough interest through the walk to be able to address the United Nations regarding the importance of creating strong well functioning family environments. The Family is the basic building block of society regardless of culture, faith, or system of government and its health is essential for healthy society. The invitation would be made by the Foundation to provide assistance to help create culturally appropriate programs to promote the nurturing and support of family in any country interested in establishing it. |
