Global
Family Day, One Day of Peace & Sharing, is celebrated every January 1 in
the US (United States) as a global day of peace & sharing.
Global
Family Day grew out of the UN (United Nations) Millennium celebration - One
Day In Peace
Originally
supported in the United States by Mr. Linda Grover, the source of the idea
itself is difficult to pin down because many grassroots efforts around the
world had independently targeted this date as a day for peace &had worked
separately to prevail on local governments and the U.N. to establish such a day
These
efforts included a 1996 children's book One Day In Peace, January 1, 2000 by
Mr. Steve Diamond and Mr. Robert Alan Silverstein, which was translated into 22
languages, and a utopian novel Tree Island by Glover herself.
