Make The Heaven, an organisation spreading peace, hope and planting trees have for the last two years, brought eco volunteers to South Africa. These gentle people have sponsored and planted thousands of trees, and implemented food gardens in the poorest areas.
Following the earthquake in Japan, their scheduled trip to SA in September 2011 was sadly cancelled in order for them to direct their healing energies towards those displaced in Japan.

Dear friends in the world
On 11th of March, a huge earthquake hit Japan. The earthquake and tsunami killed more than 13,000 people and more than 14,000 people are still missing.
We received a number of prayers and warm messages from all over the world.
They have lightened our hearts.
We appreciate the warmness. Thank you very much.
Now we have set up an emergency supporting team “MEGUMI JAPAN” and we are doing our best to reconstruct the country.
Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima, the most damaged areas, are still full of debris.They look as if they were attacked by bombs in a war.
Looking at these sites we thought,
“If there were fields of flowers instead of debris we could cheer up, forget the worries and feel soft and warm.-
That is why we came up with a project called “Flower seeding project all at once in the whole world SEEDS OF HOPE.
Let’s not only pray but also act!!
Acting is the most positive praying.
Yes, let’s plant seeds of flowers.
Ask flowers for help.
Flowers could heal our hearts.
The healed hearts could heal the earth.
So, here we would like to ask you one thing.
Would you please plant seeds of flowers in your garden in your town in your country on the 3rd of May?
On the 3rd of May, a lot of flowers will be seeded all over the world.
And you would find the following comments on Facebook.
“Today I seeded sunflowers on the flower beds at school.
What I can do is to bring smiles on people’s face, the smiles like flowers.
Muhammad from Iran, university student
“I live in an apartment so I put soil in a plastic bottle and put sunflower seed in it.
I told my neighbors about the project and they were happy to join us too.
The appartment may be full of flowers in a few months time.
I feel so excited.
What I can do is to cover this apartment with flowers.

How is everybody in the world doing?
The sunflower seed that I planted the other day came into bud in the flower pot in my aoartment in New York today.
The bud coming out from the soil looks like a peace sign.
I pray for world peace.

Hello everybody in the world, I am Japanese professional football player.
The sunflowers, which I secretly seeded by the training ground 3 months ago, are now in bloom.
What I can do is to raise people’s spirits through football and to make friends all over the world and bond with them.

May the areas full of debris change into flower fields.
May the front become flower field and all the struggles come to an end.
May the cities constructed with concrete be decorated with flowers.
Let’s decorate the earth with flowers.
