The ABC of Harmony is represented in all the continents in the libraries of hundreds of educational institutions: schools, colleges and universities, as well as at the GHA members and friends in dozens of countries. It was nominated for the most prestige international awards.
The ABC of Harmony was prepared within GHA in 2011 and published in early February 2012 in Russian in St. Petersburg and in English in New Delhi, India. Among its 76 co-authors are prominent scientists, peacemakers, artists and politicians: former President of India, Dr. Abdul Kalam; architect of Ronald Reagan’s economic reform, Dr. Norman Kurland; head of the international organization of doctors (IPPNW), which received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1985, Prof. Ernesto Kahan; Chancellor of the Pedagogical IASE Deemed Gandhi University, Kanak Mal Dugar; Catholic Professor and the UN agent, Dr. François Houtart; President of World Esperanto Association, Prof. Renato Corsetti; President of International Association of Educators for World Peace, Prof. Charles Mercieca; President of International Forum for Literature and Culture of Peace, Prof. Ada Aharoni; Secretary General of "World Constitution and Parliament" Association, Prof. Glen Martin; prominent Russian Professors: Vladimir Bransky, Gregory Tulchinsky, Alexander Subetto, Dimitry Ivashintsov and many others. Five co-authors have the GHA highest honorary title: World Harmony Creator as explained at peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=513.
African region has the ABC 2 coauthors from the GHA members: educator from Rwanda, Habyarimana Heli; poet and professor from Algeria, Ammar Banni.
All of the co-authors are active peacemakers, each in his/her field. This is reflected on the GHA website Peace from Harmony (www.peacefromharmony.org), which was visited by more than 3 million people in 7 years.
The ABC of Harmony is the first book of this kind in the world and the first global textbook on social harmony for the all nations, governments, presidents and the United Nations. The ABC of Harmony is an unprecedented in world history as a scientific and spiritual peacemaking instrument with the missionto achieve world peace from conscious social harmony through a global harmonious education and enlightenment in the ABC textbook.
The presentation of this book at the International Seminar of Teachers in New Delhi on February 11, 2012, marked the beginning of a new era of humanity: the Age of Harmonious Enlightenment and Education, which aims to overcome the total ignorance of the past history in regard to social harmony (www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=511). The ABC global textbookis the theoretical base for the projects (below), which unfold its practical importance.
Therefore, the ABC of Harmony is a program book of GHA. It has the utmost importance for its members, who must, as members of the book parent organization, show to other people in the world by their good examples of its knowledge and its application in all areas.
A prerequisite for every member of the GHA: Spiritual unity of the GHA members is provided by recognition and knowledge of the ABC of Harmony (first of all its 20 fundamental elements of social and individual harmony) as the first condition for conscious and competent performance of the GHA mission, that every member of GHA expresses in his/her brief (~1 page) review of this book. These reviews are published here: www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=506. These reviews are the first step to spiritual unity in conscious harmony of the GHA members from all the world cultural diversity. This unity is a primary prerequisite for the GHA’s membership and efficient activities. The spiritual unity of the GHA members in all our cultural diversity is our moral strength and our highest creative energy of harmony.
In this connection, we invite each of you to write and send us a brief, to the 1st page, review of the ABC within 7 days. If you do not have time to write it for the next 7 days, you can promise publicly that you will write it in two months: it will be enough to enable you to be a GHA member at this time.
The GHA-AFRICA Headquarters is Accra, Ghana

These projects have the GHA International leaders and competent specialists from many countries.
The GHA-AFRICA Board defines for each year 2-3-4 priority projects from this long-term Program.
5. GHA Projects as "World Harmony Race", starting from Ghana
The GHA already proposed these projects to governments of other countries: India, China and Russia. Thus, GHA initiated the harmonious global contest, if you will, "the harmony race", which is intended to supplant "arms race". The harmonious global contest strengthens, develops and implements Martin Luther King Jr. dream: "We must shift the arms race into a peace race."Realization of the projects of national and global harmony within the long-term program of the harmonization for each country and region - this is the best peace race! This is peace race from harmony, from concrete projects of social harmony at various levels that are adequate to different countries.
A Palace of social harmony is one ultimate goal for all countries, but the path to it for every nation is unique. Each African country chooses its own path to a harmonious civilization, starting with some of the proposed projects or by creating new ones. But first, it is advisable to focus on projects for one of the countries as an example for others. In Africa, this country is Ghana. This is because Ghana is good example of democracy and peace in Africa. Ghana is one of the most peaceful, prosperous and harmonious country in Africa. Her social, cultural, political and economic conditions are indeed a good example to other African countries.
The Implementation of the proposed projects will further the development of this historical trend to the world through peace from harmony, refuting the old militaristic false slogan: "If you want peace - prepare for war." The proposed projects are contrary to this principle. The principle of the GHA project is "If you want peace - create harmony," which is what obtains in Ghana.
The implementation of the proposed projects will undoubtedly provide the increase of social peace and prosperity in both Ghana and the African region as a whole. The purposeful implementation of these projects will open the age of Harmonious Enlightenment in the region and through it - the conscious movement to building a harmonious civilization in the world for the common good and destiny of humanity in the 21st century.
6. GHA-AFRICA budget for the year
Draft for the GHA-AFRICA Board discussion and approval
The GHA-AFRICA Budget is based on expert evaluation of the four categories of costs:
1. Salaries of some GHA-AFRICA Board members as permanent organizers.
2. Servicing staff salaries.
3. Cost of rent, maintenance and servicing.
4. Expenditures on the projects implementation. The cost of each project varies from $ 50.000 to $150.000, so the average cost of a project is $ 100 thousand. At the year we plan to implement three projects.
On this basis, we build the Table of the GHA-AFRICA budget for 2013.
Table of the GHA-AFRICA annual budget, since 2013, in U.S. dollars
| Expenditures Articles | Month | Year | Total |
| 1. Salaries of some GHA Board members | | | |
1 | Leo Semashko, GHA President, if he will be invited in Accra | 1000 | 12000 | |
2 | Ayo Ayoola-Amale, GHA-AFRICA President | 1500 | 18000 | |
3 | Bolekia Boleka, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) | 1000 | 12000 | |
4 | GHA-AFRICA Chief Financial Officer (CFO) | 1000 | 12000 | |

| IN ALL: | 6500 | 78000 | 78000 |
| 2. Servicing staff salaries | | | |
6 | Vacancy, GHA interpreter for 3 languages: English, French and Russian | 1000 | 12000 | |

| IN ALL: | 800 | 13600 | 13600 |
| 4. Expenditure on the projects implementation | | | |
12 | Realization of the GHA three projects | | 300000 | |
| IN ALL: | | | 300000 |
| TOTAL for the Year: | | | 421600 |
(Each number will be carefully discussed and corrected depending from the size of funding and after its receiving)
So, the GHA-AFRICA financial needs make for the year about $ 421600. The GHA-AFRICA annual budget is reviewed and approved by the GHA-AFRICA Board with the priorities for each year.
The annual budget can be found only through initial volunteering work, own business and detection of the GHA-AFRICA Honorary Patron. Prestige of the organization and patronage of the influential person will provide financing. But the main potential for funding –it is the GHA business projects (in the Program they are marked as +business). Them financial potential is inexhaustible only it needs special business approach – Hi-Tech of harmony or harmonious Hi-Tech.
7. GHA-AFRICA Charter
The GHA-AFRICA Charter will be created on the base of updated Charter of GHA and will register after approval of this project in GHA.
