For Progress and Obstacles, see international report by Pathways to Peace which makes an annual report of Peace Day activities, from which the following is taken:
The
Friends Service Council launched the "Peace Encouragement Programme",
with a talk, a vote for the best three Peace Encouragement postcards
(designed by the Friends Service Council and WAVE), the national PEP
Dohori contest, and a street performance. The PEP is intended to be a
long-term, ongoing project that will offer forums for talks and youth
discussions, poetry and musical competitions in schools as well as
year-round sales of the Peace Encouragement Postcards at a discounted
rate. (2003) In 2004, FSC organized a speech contest with prizes in the
high school level on the topic "Role of Students in the Peace Building
Process" on 21st September 2004, and on "School is a Peaceful Place."
(2004)
World Peace Prayer Society representatives organized a
program to commemorate the UN International Day of Peace on September
20. Their Campaign Against Violence wished peace in memory of the ten
thousand souls who have lost their loves in the last eight years of
violence in the country. The program was done with lighting thousands
of candles wishing Peace in Nepal soon. "May Peace Prevail in Nepal."
On Sept. 21, another program was organized by UNDP, wishing Peace in
the country and around the world, with many Peace songs sung by
Buddhist monks. (2004)
YSP Nepal organized three days of
programs for IDP in 2004. Schools and Colleges were visited (Hari
Siddhi College, Padma Kanya Secondary School, New Summit College, Hindu
Vidyapeeth-Nepal and Namuna Machchhindra Secondary School) and talks,
prayers, and interaction were held on the topic "Peace for Youths"
Their hope is that "the infinite strength that the youths have could be
energized and that energy would be harvested for the noble cause and
sprung the fruit of fraternity, brotherhood, coexistence, and PEACE."
