Ethiopian Millennium (2001) is going to start after three days. This new millennium will bring tremendous opportunities and blessings to our planet. This is professed by an old Ethiopian lady who celebrated her 68th birth day on September 6, 2008 (Two days ago).
She is a mother of 8 children. Out of her 4 sons three of them are by now following the religion of Islam. They become Muslims through a long history in the family. She and her 4th son are Orthodox Christians. This mother had great worries about the relationship of the future generation of her children and she consulted her children to alleviate her deep worries. After a long discussion and debate the family “the Mother and her four sons” prepared a symbolic peace project and they launched it on her birth day.
The main content of the Pease Project is to create awareness on the beauty of diversity and to contribute towards the creation of harmony and peace to especially the society of the turbulent and sensitive region of the Horn of Africa and to humanity at large. The Lady’s family factual situation will be used as a symbol that can show harmony within diversity. The diversity of this family that originates from same womb is unique.

During the celebration of her 68th birth day her children, friends, gusts and neighborhood people were attending the ceremony. After hearing her peace initiatives the meeting declared her name to be called Ms. Ethiopia.
