Our future should blossom in the warmth of peace, not fade away in its absence.
We want to sing songs, not listen to the sounds of war and bombs.
Peace is our playground; war is our fear.
Books are enough for us; we do not need weapons.
Friends are enough for us; we do not need enemies.
Children from Malaiyaha Hindu and Christian religious schools in Mathugama in Kalutara district , who participated in a previous interfaith harmony training organized by the Plantation People’s Voice Organization (VOPP), raised their voices together in this way. They expressed their opposition to the ongoing war and their deep desire for peace.
