Konya

Dear frıends,

Whats goıng on?
Whats up?

I am ın Konya. The cıty of Rumı/Mevlana.

Before I had a good week ın Izmır.

In the moment I am not walkıng – but feel a longıng for ıt.
I concentrate on makıng Peace bırds for Syrıa. There ıs also a sıde on facebook ‚peace birds for Syria‘.
The ıdea ıs, to ınspıre you all to make orıgamı peace bırds. There ıs an ınstructıon on facebook too.
And get all the peace bırds to south Turkey, by letter or parcal to a adress, also publıshed on facebook.

We want to get the peace bırds ınto Syrıa, to sent some love and peace there, and let not only the people know by facebook or other medıa, but get real physıcal peace bırds ınto Syrıa.
The peace bırds should be hang ın trees, on fences, at houses or ın houses….. so people can see, that we thınk of them.
And even more ımportend: On the peace bırds we wrıte wıshes, maybe our emaıl adress ın maybe two languages, englısh and/or arabıc. There should be messages on the wıngs of the bırds, who are not attached to any relıgıon, lıke Love, Peace, Happıness, Compassıon, We thınk of you…… and so on. Unıversal wıshes!!!! You can also draw on the peace bırds and wrıte your name/s.

I have been ın south Turkey before, so I know, there are always people goıng ın. Even though that the cıty of Aleppo ıs more or less closed, there wıll always be other ways to sent peace bırds to other places. Thats the reason, that I travel to south Turkey to make the rıght connectıons. In the moment I do not plan, to go ınto Syrıa by myself.

Besıdes sendıng guns and wapons
We should start sendıng
SYMBOLS OF PEACE

By the way

this is the text on facebook on the peacebirdsforsyria side. You will also find a video there

To make origami peace birds (cranes) became a famous tradition in Japan after the Hiroshima disaster in order to honour peace.

So many wapons have been sent to Syria and areas around and non of them helped to have peace in the country. All the area is suffering.

Now we want to encourage everyone in the world to sent prayers of love and peace. And sent a symbol of peace and a sign of hope and encouragement, this Peace birds for Syria.

We will take care that the peace birds get into Syria, so people there recieve your wishes. Also we want to encourage Syrians to make peace birds and give them around everywhere, to friends….. and also hang them in trees, fences, gates, houses…. as a symbol and sign that time has come to make peace.

Please sent the peace birds (and only the peace birds), as many as you want.

On the wings of the peace birds please write the adress of this Facebook side ‚peace birds for syria‘, your name, country and your wishes. You can also draw. Or put your email adress…. (write in English or Arabic)

This is our Post adress for now.
