Extend the hand of friendship to innocent children less fortunate For more information on why Petals of Peace was initiated here in Australia visit petalsofpeace.org The 'Petals of Peace' project invites children, and people of all ages to fold a paper lotus flower as a gesture of peace and friendship to children less fortunate. The lotus flowers are symbolic of 'Petals of Peace' blossoming within our local community and throughout the world.
The project is inspired by the story of a little Australian-Chinese girl, Fadu, and her mother Jane, who overcame their painful family tragedy by bravely sharing their heartfelt story to the world in the hope that other innocent children will no longer have to suffer injustice.
In every way the children are the innocent ones. If we can all contribute to developing harmony and international understanding, the world's children can look forward to a brighter future. We hope this project will be a step in that direction!
'Petals of Peace' symbolises the hope for all the children who are suffering during the on-going plight of Falun Gong in China. Falun Gong is a set of exercises and meditation to improve your health and well being. It is has been persecuted in China since 1999 by the Chinese Communist Party. Every flower is a gesture of hope that the unjust persecution of Falun Gong in China will soon come to an end
