United for a Culture of Peace

February 14, 2013

COE attended the “United for a Culture of Peace through Interfaith Harmony” event and ushered the Junior Four Chorus of the United Nations International School for their performance before the UN General Assembly.  The children performed songs titled “Shalom,” “Assalam Alaykum Wa Alayna / May I Be an Instrument of Peace,” and “Bwana Awabariki.” The children captivated the audience and were lead by Ms. Sharon Tan, a dynamo at musical direction.  UN Ambassadors and world spiritual leaders spoke about unity through oneness and provided prayers for our world.  The event was concluded with a magnificent flag ceremony and invoked a message of peace for all UN Member States.
