Sustained peace education engagement with schools

Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war. ~ Maria Montessori

Through:• Classroom technique

training for teachers.• Creating curricular

content.• Engaging school

administrators, teachers, parents and students through workshops and activities to think about social issues and peace.

The hard road to sustenance

We’ve managed so far because people donate time, space and material which we don’t even count.

It’s time we began to pay our way. • Communications costs. • Publication costs.•Token honoraria.• Professional costs.

Your donation will go a long way because we will use it

optimally and frugally. Many, many generous individuals

have jumpstarted our journey towards the Rs. 800,000/- we need for next year.

But now we need a few large donations to take us forward, league by league.

Twelve donations of Rs. 50,000/-, for instance.

Will you or your company

be one of them?
