What an awesome service to our leaders of tomorrow. All adults would benefit in learning the blessing of compromise and peace.
Learning to communicate and put others first is what will heal our world.
This program is essential to our neighborhoods, communities, nation and world!

I have been involved with the Children's Peace Center because I believe strongly in its mission. If children learn about peace in a fun, hands-on way, it is more effective thn a lecture. The greater the reach, the greater the impact.

We are very familiar with the Childrens Peace Education and Community Enrichment Center and the work its does to enhance peace on an individual level. They sponsored a workshop in our area that was well received by the children from a low income area. The song "Let There Be Peace on Earth and Let It Begin With Me" describes so well the Childrens' PEACE Center. I know its model is being used in many area.

the Children's Peace Center has enriched lives of inner city youth for decades. More importantly is the way parents, or significant others are brought into learning experiences with children. Communication is always a challenge but becomes easier with some of the skills learned in the Peace Center. The interaction based activities helps one learn by doing rather than just hearing.

I am 72 years young and have seen a thing or two in my years on this earth. I am a fan of Greg Mortensen who has done much to further children's education, especially girls, in Pakistan and Afganistan.
The CPC provides education to the eager minds of our youth especially regarding Peace and how to accomplish it. Peace starts with me, spreads to you and keeps on going.
There is a song that says, "it only takes a spark to get a flame gjoing". CPC is planting a lot of sparks and doing a lot of fanning to facilitate the flame of Peace in this world. I applaud and support the efforts of CPC and ask for your support also.

I have donated computer parts, time and expertise for several years to the Children's Peace Center programs. I have seen a positive impact on children's lives. Adults that almost accidentally became aware of the activities and tried that were also changed. I have seen old computers that I thought needed to just be recycled used as interactive activities that children wanted to use. The mix of high tech and high touch attracts all children including many who could be classified as "disadvantaged" as well as those with "many advantages". Involving and interacting with each child is done very well. Conflict resolution activities that anyone can understand and apply has changed those that I have personally observed. I know that any funds and support will be used wisely and well.

Encourage the founders to not stretch beyond their current physical strength, resources, and support as much as they have in the past. This will hopefully allow these life changing programs to continue and grow for many years in the future

I am so glad that I actually had first- hand experience working with such wonderful people of this organization. OMG! You all have prospered in such a beautiful way.
I remember when the day God first guided me to this organization. I had no clue what to expect but something in my heart was telling me that this is where he wanted me to go and volunteer my help. To this day I can never forget how so much joy and light surrounded the Children Peace Center. I learned how precious giving back really meant; especially to organizations that's making a difference in someone's life.
Great Non- Profit Organization, please help to support them.

I have worked with the Peace Center for two years as a volunteer. This organization has an extremely dedicated group of people. Their Peacemobile is a wonderful way to provide students with hands-on experience in peace-building and the staff of volunteers is knowledgeable and well-trained. They love to bring the Peacemobile to schools and towns where they can offer a variety of materials to teach young people how to peacefully resolve conflict, how to respect each other, how to embrace differences, and how to empower themselves through self-esteem. Their programs are fun, interactive, inspiring, and successful!

This is such a wonderful program.They go into area's where children don't know how to handle life without conflict our violence.Without this program these children may never have the oppertunity to learn how to handle conflict and apply what they have learned through the Peace center.They have touched so many children and changed their life and given them tools to use in their dailey life.

Teaching peacemaking through the arts is a wonderful way for children and adults to experience the many different forms of Peace. Children have the chance to explore feelings, not only their own, but also other's feelings. They can practice communication skills with blocks, learn how to say PEACE in different languages, work with others on bridge building, acting out resolutions to everyday conflicts and many other activities which promote peace.
