7-Year-Old Peterborough Twins Start #Bracelet4Peace Message To World

"Why is there so much violence in the world? Why are people not nice to each other?" Those are common questions children pose to their parents.

Well Alexander and Sophia, 7-year-old twins from Peterborough, decided to create bracelets to give a message of peace and love to the world.

"I'm very proud of my twins who feel very concerned about the violence around the world," their mother Miryam Buchahim tells PTBOCanada. "It hurts my heart when I think what world we are giving to our future generations."

Instead of sitting back and watching, Miryam says her kids decided to take action.

"The kids are trying to do a chain of peace and love with their bracelets," Miryam tells PTBOCanada. "We make the bracelets free of charge but you have to do something nice for someone and give a bracelet made from you or bought. Then take a photo and share what you did for someone using #bracelet4peace on your social media channels."

The twins want to see the internet and social media filled with photos of love and positive posts. No more sadness. They want hope. And kindness.

They believe this: "We ALL have the power to make a better world with a #bracelet4peace."

Their goal is for everyone around the world who needs a message of love to wear one of these bracelets.
