Mom Samantha Greer said Annelise was originally due on Saturday, Sept. 24. She said she and her husband had read about International Day of Peace on Facebook just before Annelise’s birth and wondered if their child would be born on that day.

The Day’s theme for 2016 is “The Sustainable Development Goals: Building Blocks for Peace.” “If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.” - Mahatma Gandhi Comments are closed.
