The campus too joined scores of people worldwide, in remembering the victims. NSS (National Service Scheme), CSC (Centre for Social Concern) and Bornfree A
rt School came together to establish peace and friendship within nations and to eradicate the use of nuclear weapons. The students had a unique way to spread the message. They blindfolded themselves and lay down with placards symbolically representing the victims of the inhuman act. Natives of Hiroshima came to convey their message of peace through their songs.“Nuclear weapons do not safeguard us but make us insecure. They are the weapons of terrorism and destruction. It is possible to establish a peaceful place by educating the students and children about mass destruction,” said Principal, Fr Ambrose Pinto.
Benson Issac, Co-ordinator of CSC said, “This programme was to examine our own idea of and spread information on the nuclear weapon that leads to mass destructio
n.”Mioi Nakayama, a native of Hiroshima and project co-ordinator of Bornfree Art School explained the sufferings and fear of the survivors, destruction of nature, the diseases carried through generations and the remains which still serve as a tragic reminder and from which the natives are yet to recover. “It is a responsibility of young generation to spread peace and direct the use of money in education rather than war. These kinds of acts may not change the minds but at least make people think,” she said.
“This is to make sure that the weapons of mass destruction will be put towards a stand still and bring about world peace,” said Mr John Anthony, Dept of BSW and NSS co-ordinator.
“Our aim is to con
nect the two nations and eradicate the threat of nuclear bombs between India and Pakistan. It is not to be forgotten that youth of today wants education not bombs, pencils not guns,” said Lara Hollway, who too is associated with Bornfree Arts School.Students also formed human chain showing solidarity with the victims.
