“Let us plant the seeds of love and harmony.
Peace tree will grow and will vanish agony.
Let us plant the seeds of trust and kindness.
Children's will bloom with joy and happiness.

Our children will grow not a soldier but a philosopher.
Let us plant the seeds of vision and compassion.
Our children will learn to love with joy and passion.”
