The United States Peace Corps initiative to include International Peace Tree Day as part of their 50th Anniversary Celebration in St. Kitts and Nevis...

 In celebration of International Peace Tree Day in 2011, festival goers in St. Kitts and Nevis created a "symbol” to place on the Papaya tree in the garden at Project Strong, a skill development school in St. Kitts.  The “symbols” created were religious, cultural and simple reflection of peace representing countries and cultures from around the world.  The tree was photographed in the garden at Project Strong where the “ornaments” remain on display today.  A photograph of the Peace Tree was submitted to the official International Peace Tree Day website to be included in their selection of 2011 Peace Tree Day celebrations around the world.
