it's nandra. they also call her nashz, the history of such name is way too long to elaborate in this little space. she's seventeen. she's a she. she lives a typical metropolitan lifestyle in the capital of Indonesia. she's currently in her senior year of high school, enduring the second and last year of IB Diploma Programme that's totally ruining her life slowly. but she thinks the whole suffering would give her some sort of advantage in the (scarily) near future. she's a CISVer and lovin' every bit of it. oh, she also very much enjoys mango juice, she'd even prefer it than OJ haha. and while we're at it, yes, she might be random from time to time. she wishes you'd be quite patient about it. :)

ok so before i start off...

I ORDERED OKTOMAT!

ooh yeah! can't wait till it comes. end of this month problly. it better get here before i depart to bali! aargh.

so anyways... i haven't got the chance to tell you about "the day after peace", jeremy gilley's journey to silence the guns. i spose u've heard about his journey to have a fixed calendar date for "international peace day". which was a success after give or take 2 years of effort. however his no.1 goal has yet been accomplished -- to have a global ceasefire. just one day that the guns are silenced and people are to pause and think of the damage done when those guns and missiles and rockets were fired.

and so his relentless journey is not done yet. so he set out to afghanistan with -- wait for it-- JUDE LAW. oh yeah people, isn't he just PERFECT??!! he's uber hot, charming and is all for peace! :D

ok so anyways, they both went to afghanistan, in order to give babies and toddlers in isolated villages immunization. now their villages is under constant threat of roadside bombs and attacks; it's also guarded by armies. it sounds pretty simple, why not just go to the village, give them the immunization and be done with it? well one thing i gotta say guys, IT'S FRIGGING AFGHANISTAN. there's no ordinary day there, ur life is on the line, constantly.

jeremy gilley and jude law approached a lot of people and officials, to help him silence the guns while their undergoing the operation (of giving immunization for kids). it was not easy, really -- what with the sceptics everywhere. i personally thought that he would not make it. i mean, it's a country that has never seen peace for over 30 years -- it seems rather utopian to not have a gun fired in afghanistan.

but he did it. he lobbied people and got lots of support and jeremy gilley along with UNICEF gave immunization to around 1.4 million children in afghanistan. even the taliban agreed to not disrupt their operation! plus, there was a gun handover on the 21st of september.

so i sat there in the theatre in total awe. i just can't believe that it happened. in afghanistan, a place where i thought hope no longer existed and peace is a mere utopian dream. afghanistan where your life is under constant threat. but for one day, in afghanistan, the guns were muffled. and children got what they needed -- immunization. it's amongst one of the things i take for granted nowadays.

i just need one word to describe jeremy gilley's relentless effort.

amazing.

i really thought that peace is really beyond the horizon. well i tell you what people, it isn't. if we all take a stand and do whatever it is we can to create peace... it's definitly within our grasp.

it's possible, guys.

i mean, in a place as devastating as afghanistan, the guns were silenced.

so, quoting the ever-so-famous adidas tag line: impossible is nothing.

peace is not impossible.

cheers.
