The Nobel Peace Prize

Congratulations to Nihon Hidankyo for winning this year’s Nobel Peace Prize! The group, called “The Japan Confederation of A- and H-Bomb Sufferers Organization” in English, has been working for years for peace. The members of Nihon Hidankyo have all suffered because of nuclear weapons, and they are trying to teach people around the world how dangerous these weapons are. They want countries that don’t have nuclear weapons to promise never to make them. They want the countries that have nuclear weapons to promise never to use them. They hope that there will be a world without nuclear weapons one day. Some countries have started talking about using nuclear weapons recently, so this Nobel Peace Prize comes just at the right time.    (121 words)
