During the week, all organizations plant a tree, to symbolize it with the objective of harmony.

Sri Lanka Tree for Harmony, 2014 in Sri Lanka (Source: TFH) Sri Lanka United Nations Friendship Organisation (SUNFO) observed Tree for Harmony. SUNFO is a non political, non-racial and non-sectarian organization that seeks to unite all peoples into a movement working for the wellbeing, harmony and peace of mankind according to the principles of the United Nations. SUNFO planted the symbolic harmony tree, and aslo organized a talk to disseminate the relevance of the cause. Concept of Tree for Harmony A war cannot achieve what peace can. The forces of peace can rule over ignorance and superstition, over illiteracy, over disease and physical suffering, over poverty and oppression. The conquests of peace are nonviolent and bloodless. They cause no grief to humanity and do not damage life or property. War causes streams of blood and untold havoc. The victory of peace leaves no maimed limbs or mutilated bodies, no ruined cities or scorched fields. Like peace, brotherhood can do wonders. Instead of walking alone, if we have a companion, the journey becomes easier. We don t have to struggle alone. We aim for this. We want to initiate friendship, brotherhood and peace in the entire world. And for this, we turn to our evergreen friends trees. What can be more symbolic of these values than a tree? A tree grows freely, digs its roots deeply and also gives life to other trees. It is a symbol of stability, growth and prosperity. A tree also grows freely, without any discrimination. And this is the message that we want to send. Like trees, we should do away with barriers of caste, religion, ethnicity and others boundaries. Like trees, we should grow together. For this, Mission Bhartiyam, an India-based organisation, has initiated 'Tree for harmony', which is celebrated between 16th September (World Ozone Day) and 21st September (World Peace Day). Under Tree for Harmony(TFH), we plant a symbolic tree labeled as "Harmony Tree" and try to disseminate the concept and message for a healthy environment and society through a discussion, painting, essay programme or any
5 other relevant awareness programme. TFH is observed by creating a network. Mission Bhartiyam observes TFH by collaborating with different organisations around the world. TFH seeks to make people aware and sensitive about the need for a sustainable environment and a peaceful society. The report of 'Tree for Harmony' will be submitted to the Environment Minister of India and to the embassies of all the participating countries.
