11 Days of Global Peace is not only about bringing awareness of the real possibility for peace, but also for reaching out with positive ways to promote peace. One way we can all help is to get a copy of Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and read it. It is an eye-opening, short read about how one regular American guy is helping change nations with the Pennies for Peace campaign, i.e. he collects pennies and builds whole schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan to educate boys and girls. These children see and appreciate the many alternatives to terrorism, suicide bombs, and death squads found in education, respect, and understanding.
During 11 Days of Global Peace the Peace Ambassadors will start our local Pennies for Peace campaign. The goal is to raise $12,000 to build a school in Afghanistan. See the planned events in the following blog and come back for updates!
