I want to think that there are many, many more peace-loving individuals in the world than bigots and hate-preachers, it's just that the news will focus on the negative. The current US political campaigning disturbs me as much as the terrorism. <br /><br />Interesting that you should suggest bringing together religious groups. I totally agree with you. I know that in Australia there is a working party between Imams, Rabbis and Christian leaders to increase understanding and maintain interfaith links to foster tolerance and peace.<br />When trying to find more information about this I discovered that there is a "Jewish Christian Muslim Association" in Australia: http://jcma.org.au/<br /><br />It pleases me that there are people in the world who are actively working on making our world a safer and happier place for everyone. Intolerance and violence are bred by fear - wherever anger rises up, look a bit deeper and there will be a fear underlying it.<br /><br />It is amazing how one little doll can be used to break down barriers, open conversations and relieve tension - something desperately needed in our world. The positive responses to Kwokkie Doll warm my heart. If one doll can do that, then we too, on an individual level, can promote peace in our own circles of influence, whatever their sizes.<br /><br />I do believe, and maintain hope, that good will overcome evil but, like anything worth while, it may not come easily - we all need to work at it.<br /><br />Kwokkie Doll does look jolly because she, and the Little Colourful Teacher, truly are happy and jolly. Jolly hollies (holidays) to you! :-)<br /><br />I do believe and maintain hope that good will overcome evil.

When I saw how well matched they were on Harmony Day this year, it reassured me that the colours of Kwokkie Doll's wardrobe were well chosen and it has reinvigorated me to think of some more items to make - a sun hat for one!<br />I love Ms A.K.'s sense of fun which is perfectly expressed through colour. How can we be inspired in our own creativity with colour?<br />You do so many crafts - what are your thoughts?Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-20203505849835003642016-03-25T19:05:10.480+10:302016-03-25T19:05:10.480+10:30It seems Kwokkie Doll is adored wherever she goes....It seems Kwokkie Doll is adored wherever she goes.

There is so much aggression and hatred that fill the news nowadays that I am hardly able to read a newspaper anymore. To bring people together, Christians, Muslims, Jews that is the central theme we have to work on. I really love your doll! She looks so jolly!
