Each year, on August 6th for Hiroshima Day, and August 9th for Nagasaki Day, the Mayors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki read a Peace Declaration at a service of commemoration similar to the one we we will be reading. Such services are taking place across the world and allows for reflection. After the commemoration service join us in folding paper cranes and writing messages of peace to be sent to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as part of the 71st anniversary peace commemoration.
