🧘🏾‍♀️ What is Peace?

Peace means that people live together in harmony — without fighting or hurting each other. It means people are free, safe, and happy.

When there is peace:

• Children can play safely outside

• People can go to school or work

• Families can build homes, grow food, and care for one another

• People respect and help each other

✨ What Does Peace Look Like?

Peace looks like:

• Smiles and hugs

• Helping others

• Listening before fighting

• Working or playing together

• Sharing with others

• Being fair and respectful

🌟 Why is Peace Important?

✅ Peace makes people feel safe and happy
✅ Children go to school without fear
✅ People can work and feed their families
✅ Money is spent on good things like hospitals and roads
✅ No one has to run away or hide

🧠 Think: Can you learn well or sleep peacefully when there is noise, anger, or fighting?
