Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Divine,

 

" A group of women affiliated with The Ohio State

University made the call to women of the world to stand together on May

13th 2007 to save the world and the women of the world are responding.

This project was inspired by a short story written by Sharon Mehdi called

The Great Silent Grandmother Gathering.

Thousands of women, men, children from around the world

are expected to stand for five minutes of silence at 1.00pm local time

on this day.

 

We will be standing for the world's children and grandchildren

and for the seven generations beyond them. We dream of a world where all

of our children have safe drinking water, clean air to breathe and enough

food to eat. A world where they have access to a basic education to develop

their minds and healthcare to nurture their growing bodies. A world where

they have a warm, safe and loving place to call home. A world where they

don't live in fear of violence in their home, in their neighbourhood, in

their school or in their world. This is the world of which we dream. This

is the cause for which we stand.

 

We ask you to invite the men and boys who you care about

to join you. We ask that you bring bells to ring at 1.00pm to signify the

beginning of the five minutes of silence and to ring again to signify the

end of the period of silence. During the silence , please think about what

you individually and what we collectively can do to attain the world envisioned.

To date there are 1,394 events listed in 52 nations including
