One Sky One World International Kite Fly for Peace was inspired by Jane Parker-Ambrose, a Colorado native and Denver kite-maker who, in 1985, during a trip to the Soviet Union, presented an original “Peace Comet” kite to the Soviet Woman’s Peace Committee in Moscow.  This people-to-people gesture has inspired hundreds of thousands of people in more than 40 countries to participate every 2nd Sunday of every October.
