30 Ways to Build Peace
August 21, 2010
This summer, 107 young people participated in our Peace-building Workshops. Our experienced staff led them through a series of exercises that helped them develop communication and cross-cultural skills. “How do you build peace?” GYV 2009 participants came up with these 30 ways. THIS VIDEO WON 3RD PLACE IN A TECHSOUP COMPETITION. Feel free to add to their list by writing a comment and start building peace in your communities.
A greater purpose

Caroline Benton, participant throughout the 80′s and early 90′s writes : “My 7 yr old son has Cystic Fibrosis. In his diagnosis I’ve found a greater purpose for my life. I am a active advocate and fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and have been invited to join the Family Advisory Board for our state’s children’s hospital. With these activities I am able to help so many families and children. I am very happy. Additionally, I work for Blackbaud, a software company that writes programs for non-profits…so I get to spend my days helping people who help others. Very rewarding.” What a positive legacy!
