I Pledge…
I pledge to remember the pain of Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
To value peace over violence,
To use my words instead of weapons,
To respect every human life,
And to stand against war, hatred, and destruction.
I promise to build a world
Where compassion, kindness, and unity thrive.
Let peace begin with me.
