About Us
In 2007, House Bill 345 was voted into law as Act 23, declaring
"September 21st of each year shall be known and recognized as “Peace Day” to promote peace programs,
improve international relations, and increase educational awareness of peace.”
Hawai'i was the first state in the United States to join more than 200 countries in celebrating the United Nations International Day of Peace and Non-Violence. Each year, volunteers from community groups, professional organizations, educational institutions, artists, musicians and government service representatives unite to show solidarity towards attaining a culture of peace throughout our lives and the world on this and everyday.

"Capt. Paul K. Chappell has given us a crucial look at war and peace from the
unique perspective of a soldier, and his new ideas show us why world peace is both necessary and possible in the 21st century. [He] can help people everywhere understand why war must end, and how together we can end it."- -Archbishop Desmond Tutu- |
