The Father of Nation Mahatma Gandhi said, “There is no path to peace, peace is the path”. On 21st September each year, the International Day of Peace also known as Peace Day is observed around the world. It was established in 1981 by the United Nations General Assembly(UNGA). Two decades later in 2001, the United Nations General Assembly augmented for “non-violence and cease-fire” on world peace day and calls on everyone and every country to observe Twenty Four hours of non-violence.

The International Peace Day, observed around the globe on September 21 each year, is about friendship, compassion, and hope. All these values are the heart and soul of what the Nathan Ebanks Foundation stands for. This year more than any other in our modern history, we are being called into account to practice, promote and lobby for peace within our homes, our community, and the world at large. We invite you to join us in the 2020 peace day challenge.

People with disabilities have been subjugated, and have been stigmatized and marginalized by the so-called abled society and are subjected to preposterous treatments that include social inequality and stratification.
