September 21 was the International Day of Peace. And this was when we saw these pinwheels in front of an elementary school, many under large old trees.
🌍 Pinwheels for Peace is a global art
installation project that began in 2005, in Florida. It was designed as a way
for students to express their thoughts and feelings about peace, both in the
world and in their personal lives.
Students create colorful pinwheels decorated with messages, drawings, or symbols of peace. They are then “planted” in public spaces—like school lawns, parks, or community centers. They are planted on World Peace Day, September 21st.
“A pinwheel spins not with wind
alone, but with the hope of every hand that placed it.”
