Yoko kicked off John Lennon’s 70th birthday celebration year at the 2010 NAMM Show.
Her appearance at the show inspired attendees to submit their wishes of hope and peace at a special Wish Tree set up in front of the Bus during the convention from January 14-17, 2010.
Hundreds of wishes were collected and will be installed [...]
The O Ambassadors at Iles, in cooperation with Free the Children and Imagine Peace (Yoko Ono), are creating our Iles Me to We Wish Tree.
Each student traced their hand and wrote their wish for the world. This is a voluntary activity and every student participated! That really shows a commitment to leadership, caring and growth! In February, a team from Free the Children will visit Iles to present an all school assembly and workshops for older students. In April, we will celebrate our O Ambassador activities at our Seventh Annual Iles Writer’s Conference entitled, “Me to We”. Stay tuned for our continuing adventures!
