Hundreds of guests at the Peace Market hung and wrote wishes on the Wishing Tree by artist Chrysanne Stathacos. In addition to her “wish that bullets would turn to roses and hatred to friendship” here are some of the wonderful wishes hung on the branches that we hope come true!
“I Wish to search for love & hope everyday”
“I Wish for people to know more, for people to see more, for people to understand “the other”
“I Wish that peace education will be taught in every school in the world”
“I Wish to be powerful enough to make a difference!”
“ I Wish we can send more kids to camp”
“I Wish that everyone could experience the dialogue sessions that I experienced everyday for 3 weeks that changed my life”
“I Wish that we realize our common human experience and achieve peace”
“I Wish the 14 current wars to be brought to a safe level of conflict by 2014 (the peace deadline)”
