School Day of Non-violence and Peace


Dear pupils,
January 30 is School Day of Non-violence and Peace.
Let's remember  Gandhi's  words:
"Love is better than egoism, Non-violence is better than violence, and Peace is better than war".

"Let the sun shine in"  is a famous song from the movie "Hair" directed by Miloš Forman  in 1979.
It's a very sad song, guys, but a very beautiful one, too.

*... and here you are the lyrics.
