Thanks for an uplifting video Paul - you're an inspiration! This is a pure and joyful expression of children celebrating dreams of a world at peace. I have no doubt peace is inevitable, but we have a lot of work to do building trust among people and nations. By human hands and human feet must the new world be built. UFP is a wonderful way to connect with our common humanity through music - the universal language of love. May UFP spread love & joy to the world's children. Peace Shalom Shalom :)

Thank you Sophia, The children hold the key and we must help them to build freindship between themselves and thier communities , so they can make a peace that works . I happy to know you and that we share the same Path . The road is as long as we want it to be . Much Aloha Paul.

Aloha Paul! Thanks for your speedy response. Yes! children are key to the future we build today for tomorrow. Every child has the universal right to live in peace with all necessities of life. We've made such a mess of our planet and need to join hands to rebuild it. I've played the ukulele since I was a child. When I hear its sweet rhythm, it evokes feelings of joy, fun, play, laughter, singing - qualities of childhood. I still play it, and want to start UFP with adults and children too Peace x
