Keith Bloodworth, The International School St. Lucia had on 21 September a launch of their Peace Quilt efforts. Students have had a chance since to create their design. Soon an art show will be held to select the design to represent the school in the UK Olympic Peace Quilt. The rest of the designs which will represent… all students in the school, teachers, administrators, and custodia will be used to create our own Peace Quilt To Hang In The School.
What a great idea.
When you look at this drawing , it is actually very creative, as the Peace sentence is wrote in part of the Cyprus Flag. The olive branches underneath symbolise Peace. The Cypriot flag’s colors were intentionally chosen to help promote peace between the two communities living there the Turks and the Greeks.
“We all wish for Peace because it will bring Happiness and Joy to the world!!!”
Thank you to everyone in The Heritage Private School Cyprus for your participation. Also special thanks to Christine Gajin Year 3 teacher for the coordination of this project for Cyprus.
Cypriot Flag Description:
The Cypriot flag consists of a white base with a yellow/golden map of the island in the middle of it. Two green olive branches appear on the flag, below the map.

Cambodian Flag Meaning:
The blue color symbolizes the country’s royalty. The red represents the nation and the white represents the religion, beginning with Brahmanism, and the current major religion – Buddhism. The emblem of the temple represents the structure of the universe.

Greek Flag Meaning:
The nine stripes are said to stand for the nine syllables of the Greek patriots’ motto: ‘Eleutheria e Thanatos’ meaning ‘Freedom or Death’. but another theory states that they also symbolize the nine Muses, the goddesses of art and civilization. The blue and white colors represent the Greek sea and sky combined with white clouds and waves. The white also represents the purity of the country’s struggle for independence and for freedom. The cross symbolizes Greek Orthodoxy which is the established religion of the country.
