This inspiring video shares the story of peace pilgrim Satish Kumar, who, at the age of 26, chose to respond to the threat of war not by asking what governments should do, but by asking, “What can I do?” Together with a friend, he walked more than 8,000 kilometres from India to Washington without carrying any money, relying entirely on the kindness and generosity of strangers.

Along the way, Satish discovered that love transcends all differences. Whether meeting people of different religions, cultures, or political beliefs, he greeted everyone with the same message: “I love you.” His story is a beautiful reminder that peace begins with each one of us, and that courage, kindness, and trust can help create a more compassionate world—one step at a time.

Recorded at the Children and Nature Conference 2025, this short video ends with an inspiring message "Be fearless, be full of love, yes you can do it". [Watch Now]
