Sponsorship Information
STONEWALK JAPAN, the fifth global walk honoring civilians killed
in war, will begin in Nagasaki July 2nd, and finish August 5th in
Hiroshima where the Memorial Stone will be placed permanently in
the Hiroshima Peace Park.
The Peace Abbey and September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows
are the two organizations heading up this journey. The
Peace Abbey, a multi-faith retreat center, founded on the principles
of pacifism, offers innovative models for society that empower individuals
on the path to nonviolence, peacemaking and cruelty-free living.September
11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, an organization founded
by family members of those killed on September 11th have united to
turn their grief into action. The group, now of more than 150 members,
has made contact with other civilian victims of terrorism and war,
throughout the world. Their mission is to promote dialogue on alternatives
to war, while educating the public on issues of peace and the root
causes of war and terrorism, and work to create a safer and more
peaceful world for everyone.
Members of Stonewalk team will be joined by Japanese people, in
pulling the Memorial Stone 270 miles, remembering, on this 60th anniversary,
the thousands of people killed by the atomic bombs in 1945. The Hibakusha,
survivors of the bombings, will help to prepare for the event, participate
in walking with the stone, and join in the opening and closing ceremonies.
Funds are needed to bring the specially created caisson to and from
The Peace Abbey in Sherborn, Massachusetts, USA, to purchase and
transport the stone, to provide water and food for volunteers, and
finally to help with the transportation of the team. We need your
help to express to the world the need for peace by honoring women,
children, and men, the elderly and disabled whose lives were lost
and who suffered as a result of the devastating effects of atomic
bombing and radiation.
