6 June 2002 Archived Entry: "WORLD CUP: Goal for All!"

In celebration of the upcoming 2002 FIFA World Cup soccer events in Japan and Korea the Japan and Korean Campaigns to Ban Landmines have organized "A Goal for All!"

Citizens are being asked to write a peace message or draw an illustration to show "solidarity as friends of this Earth by addressing a message from the bottom of your heart to those injured by landmines." The campaign will draw worldwide attention to the total Ban on Landmines and will target people of various generations and cultural backgrounds.

Collected postcards will be displayed in June at the NGO booth near Yokohama Arena in Tokyo, Japan, where the final game will be held.

The Campaign deadline is 12 July 2002. Peace messages, postcards and illustrations can be posted to:

Japan Campaign to Ban Landmines (JCBL)
5F Maruko Bldg., 1-20-6
Higashi-Ueno, Taito-ku,
Tokyo, 110-8605
Japan

Participants will be entered into a draw and 20 lucky people will be rewarded with a Japan Campaign to Ban Landmines poster or T-shirt.

For a copy of the campaign postcard and additional details please click here or contact shimizu@jca.apc.org

I hope that one day all people can walk without fearing landmines. I pray that one day children will no longer fear acts of violence and mass destruction. I hope the needs of land mine survivors are met and international leaders continue to address this issue.
