Remembering Hiroshima and Nagasaki:
Peace Concert 2006 was held on
August 6th, 2006
We had the most amazing concert on the 6th of August to mark the anniversary of Hiroshima Day, at St Michael's Church in the city, with lots of moving stories and heart warming music. The church was filled with positive energy. Hundreds of people were uplifted and moved and enriched, to help keep their spirits refreshed and their energy strong to continue working towards peace.
The poem "Umashimenkana (Let us bring life)" was read out by Anna Sakurai at the concert.
