School Day of Non Violence and Peace

Hi folks!

Welcome to our first Bibliobulletin post!

This week in the Biblioteca Elemental we´ve all gone crazy about making origami cranes. Like this one:

"So, what´s all this about then?" I hear you say.

Well, Wednesday 30th January is the School Day of Non violence and Peace started by Llorenc Vidal Vidal a Spanish poet and pacifist.  Here is one of his poems:

SALMO DEL PACIFISTA

En este mundo de clanes y de fanáticos,

practiquemos la tolerancia...

En este mundo que rompe los derechos y los deberes,

salvemos los derechos humanos...

En este mundo lleno de odio y de rencores,

sembremos semillas de amor...

En este mundo donde reinan las discordias,

vivamos como buenos hermanos...

En este mundo de exilio y de violencia,

cultivemos en los corazones la vida...

En este mundo de guerras y miseria,

edifiquemos la paz...
