Sport for Truce
“Sport for Truce events on Peace Day 2011 will help Peace One Day to launch the countdown to a day of ceasefire and non-violence on Peace Day 2012 - a Global Truce. POD hopes that this will be the largest reduction in global violence in recorded history, both internationally and domestically. Through their Peace Day 2011 events, young people will be able to take ownership of Global Truce 2012.” Jeremy Gilley
