PEACE MALA UNITING ALL FAITHS AND CULTURES BY THE YEAR 6 PEACE COUNCIL

RESPECT WHAT IS IT ? RESPECT IS A FORM OF KINDNESS WE SHOW TOWARDS EVERYONE IN OUR LIVES. WE DO NOT ONLY SHOW RESPECT TO OTHERS BUT ALSO TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND PROPERTY. JESUS TAUGHT US THAT WE MUST TREAT OTHERS HOW WE WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED OURSELVES.

THE AFTER MATH AFTER 9/11 PAM EVANS STARTED WITNESSING A LOT OF RACISM AND BULLYING IN THE SCHOOL SHE WORKED IN. WHEN 9/11 HAPPENED, THE WORLD CHANGED FOREVER. THE TERRIBLE EVENTS OF SEPTEMBER 11TH2001, BROUGHT WITH IT AN AFTERMATH OF FEAR AND CONFUSION. THE RISE IN ISLAMOPHOBIA IN THE WORLD WAS TO BE EXPECTED AS A RESPONSE TO THE ATTACK. WHAT WAS MORE SHOCKING WAS THE RISE IN RACISM AND PREJUDICE THAT WE ARE STILL FACED WITH TODAY. PAM CREATED PEACE MALA TO HELP SCHOOLS EDUCATE CHILDREN IN PEACE EDUCATION.

Pams Vision Pam Evans, who is the creator of Peace Mala, has a vision. Her vision is that every person in the world no matter their gender, skin colour, what they believe or support; will think of each other as equal and live in peace. Racism and prejudice against religion and race has been a major problem for centuries. No matter if you are white, black, Asian, Christian, Catholic, Buddhist, Sikh etc; It doesn t matter, it is just a belief and a skin colour. We should all try to be like Pam and show no prejudice. In our role on the Peace Council this year, we are trying to make that vision a reality. We are trying to make people aware that this doesn t matter. It s fine if you don t believe the same as others but just RESPECT it. RESPECT is very important. Treat others the way you want to be treated.

RAINBOW BEADS THE RAINBOW BEADS ARE A VISIBLE SYMBOL OF THE GOLDEN RULE OF PEACE MALA. EACH BEAD REPRESENTS DIFFERENT RELIGIONS. THESE ARE WHAT SOME OF THEM STAND FOR;

Double Rainbow Fourteen spiritual traditions are represented on the bracelet. The central white bead represents the wearer. The final single bead is used to bring the bracelet around the wearer's wrist. This represents unity, harmony and peace. The Final knot reminds the wearer to follow the path of peace and friendship, and that our behaviour impacts on everyone we meet.

This is the Peace Mala Action Plan for 2018-2019 As part of our action plan we have: Created a peace mala notice board and display Taken part in Peace Mala assemblies Attended a Mass for Peace at St. David s, Neath.
