The

Peace Rises

Peace2011Project

In July of 2010, inspired by the vision of filmmaker Jeremy

Gilley and photographer Pep Bonet, Lisa Schultz, founder

of TheWhole9.com, asked the question “If one man can get

World Peace Day on the calendar, what can an entire creative

community do?”

In answer, The Peace Project was launched. Utilizing the

power of creativity, community and technology, people

around the world joined hands and took action for peace.

Just one year later, on September 21, 2011, World Peace Day,

thousands of people across the West African country of Sierra

Leone, and creative people around the world joined hands in

one of the most unique collaborations ever – Operation Rise.

10,000 pairs of crutches were distributed to amputees, war

victims, polio survivors and children, a country was changed and

we learned that the right question along with passion, creativity,

determination and community, can change the world.

Through creativity and community,

we can change the world.

2011

In July of 2010, inspired by the story of filmmaker Jeremy Gilley, who

lobbied Heads of State around the world to get World Peace Day on

the calendar, and the images of photojournalist, Pep Bonet who

visited the tiny country of Sierra Leone and captured in his amazing

photographs the plight of thousands of the country’s amputees,

I asked the questions:

“If one man can get World Peace Day on the calendar, what can an

entire creative community do? And where better to start than Sierra

Leone – a country consistently ranked among the poorest in the world

that, in the recent past, suffered what has been called one of the

cruelest wars in Africa’s history.”

The creative community I’m speaking about is TheWhole9.com, home

to about 25,000 artists, photographers, writers, cinematographers and

other creatives that I launched about 4 years ago. It was the support of this

international community that was instrumental in giving momentum to

The Peace Project which we kicked off just last year with an international

art contest that became a traveling exhibit. We then created Peace Walls

in Sierra Leone and Los Angeles – all to raise money to go directly to help

the people of Sierra Leone.

Since then, I’ve traveled to

Sierra Leone numerous

times and we’ve made

unbelievable progress. I’m

now convinced that creativity

and community can change

lives. I saw the people we’re

touching and I heard this:

Lisa Schultz, Founder, The Peace Project and TheWhole9.com

From the amputee soccer team, a group of men

who lost their arms and legs, who lost their

homes, sometimes their families and often that

indefinable something that makes a man a man,

but then reclaimed their dignity through soccer,

I heard them ask me to tell you that they’re

“ambassadors for peace.”

In life, there are no accidents, only missed opportunities.

From Adigali Bangura, a double hand-amputee, (he has three children

whose education The Peace Project is sponsoring) who, whenever he can

scrape the money together, makes soap to sell so that he doesn’t have to

beg, I heard that The Peace Project gave him hope for the first time that

his life would be different.

And speaking of different, I saw a note that one of our sponsored

children Alie Kabia wrote to his sponsor, Cecilia Casey. In it he said

that because of her, he “sees the world differently.”

And Obai Sesay, an amputee soccer player, grabbed me by my shoulders

during one of my trips recently. With tears in his eyes after I told him

that The Peace Project would pay to send him to Adult Education, he

told me “You’ve changed my life.” To which I replied, “No…you’ve

changed your life because you decided that, rather than lay down and

die, you would stand up, reach out, forgive, and

move forward.”

Obai and his amputee teammates affected Pep Bonet

so deeply that he took a whole series of photos and

– amazingly – I got to see those photos. Accident?

Luck? I prefer to think of it as an opportunity, and

quite possibly, even a miracle.

This miracle (and a hell of a lot of hard work) led

to others and now, just one year after we started,

I’m proud to share that we’ve just implemented one

of the largest and most collaborative social efforts

ever to take place in Sierra Leone

Sierra Leone is home to over 20% of the world’s amputees as well as thousands of polio victims – both a sobering

reminder of the recent 10-year civil war. A critical component to sustainable peace is the ability to provide for

oneself -- personal mobility is one of the first steps.

While in Sierra Leone in 2010, The Peace Project team saw firsthand the incredible challenges that many mobility-

impaired people face – due in part to crutches that are in extreme disrepair or in many heart-breaking cases, non-

existent. From this observation, the belief arose that a massive mobility campaign that involved distributing 10,000

pairs of crutches would cause a huge psychological and energetic shift in Sierra Leone, provide further distance

from the civil war, and give people something to cheer about. As importantly, we believed that an effort like this

would engage and inspire people worldwide to rise up and join hands to create a better world.

But this change takes a lot of work. That’s why we assembled

an exceptional coalition of partners to help:

Invacare, Medline and AFYA Foundation, U.S.A., and

Trulife, U.K. provided the crutches.

UNICEF shepherded the crutches through Customs

and transported them to eight distribution sites located

throughout Sierra Leone.

An unprecedented grass-roots team of over 500 people

including medical professionals, amputees, polio survivors

and national and local advocacy groups organized the

individual events under The Peace Project’s supervision

and “fitted” the people of Sierra Leone with the crutches

that helped them to rise up.

This effort was ambitious. Even UNICEF, one of the world’s

biggest NGOs, politely suggested we roll the distribution

out over several months instead of implementing it on

one day.

We laughed. We did it on one day because - even though

the work we’re currently doing is about transforming

Sierra Leone (and there’s simply no telling what kind of

transformation will happen because of Operation Rise)

– it’s also about transforming you. It’s about showing

you that incredible change is possible. It’s about causing

you to believe, really believe, that you can be part of that

change. It’s about showing the world that incredible

change is possible and paving the way for even more change.

And just as importantly, this coalition included you. Since

we launched The Peace Project in July of 2010 via the Call-

for-Artists, thousands of people around the world have

stepped forward donating money, time and art – all to

create a more peaceful world.

On World Peace Day, September 21st 2011, we moved one

step closer to this more peaceful world with the successful

implementation of Operation Rise. Despite incredible odds

that included heavy rain at a number of our eight distribution

sites, late delivery of some of the crutches, and the fact

that this effort was completely staffed with volunteers,

when the day was over, our partners emerged as heroes

and the lives of thousands of people across the country

had been changed and they were finally able to stand tall,

look the world in the eye and know that tomorrow would

be a better day.

Although the work with Operation Rise is on-going (we’ll

be working through early 2012 to ensure everyone in need

countrywide receives a free pair of crutches), we’re already

looking towards the future and asking “What’s next?”

What’s Next?

Our perspective is both similar and different as it was

last year when we ambitiously set out to impact the

lives of at least 5,000 people in Sierra Leone in our

first year. Although none of us had ever been to Africa,

we had no in-country staff, and no track record as a

non-profit (which equated to no significant source of

funding), we were able to exceed this goal through the

work we’re doing with our Child Sponsorship Program

and through Operation Rise.

Via Operation Rise, we’ll not only change the lives

of the 10,000+ people who received crutches and

crutch repair parts, but we’ll also change the lives of

their family members and their communities. Pretty

impressive especially when you consider that Rotary

International, currently the world’s largest community

service organization, took five years before implementing

their first project – building one public toilet on

Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Illinois.

As I look back over the last year, I sometimes feel like

I’ve been in a rocket ship watching my old life and belief

systems pass before my eyes. One of the biggest shifts I’ve

experienced is transitioning from thinking that “God” was

somehow responsible for all of the pain and suffering to

realizing that mankind is responsible for most of it, and

that we’re all responsible for healing it.

I’ve also stopped being convinced that the fastest way to

a better world is to provide aid and education directly

to children and started to believe that the quickest, most

sustainable change will happen when opportunities are

created for adults so that they can educate and take care

of their own children.

With that in mind, The Peace Project will continue working

with the children whose education we’re currently

sponsoring, but will not take on any additional children.

Instead, we’ll focus on the following areas as we move into 2012:

Rise Up

We’ll continue to get crutches out to the thousands of

men, women and children who were unable, because of

inclement weather and lack of funds for transportation

(even $1 USD is difficult for many amputees to raise), to

visit a distribution site on World Peace Day to receive a

pair of free crutches.

In order for the benefits of Operation Rise to be long-term,

a crutch maintenance plan must be put in place. With that in

mind, we’re working to ensure that each of our distribution

sites has the ability to do repairs and manufacture their

own crutch tips as tips typically wear out within weeks

which causes not just traction problems, but can cause

joint and structural damage to the users.

If you’d like to donate, please visit

www.thepeaceproject.com/operationrise

Every $25 donated equates to getting a pair of crutches

into someone’s hands.

Or if you can recommend a source to produce the dies for

the crutch tips, please email me at [email protected]

Build Community

We’ve become even more convinced that community-

building is critical to world change. We also realize that

peace is not possible unless people have hope for a

better future and their basic needs are met. The design,

development and operation of The Peace Center is

another critical step in the work we’re doing in Sierra

Leone. It will also act as the foundation for our on-going

work there.

The Peace Center is tentatively planned to be adjacent to the

former Aberdeen Amputee Refugee Camp – an area where we’ve

already done much good work. From The Peace Center, The

Peace Project in conjunction with our trusted in-country partner,

Community Association for Psychosocial Services, will operate

training programs, arts and cultural initiatives, and administer a

micro-loan program. Ultimately we seek to create a development

model that can be scaled for duplication in other communities.

Get People Working

In conjunction with The Peace Center, we’ll create ways to

get people working. Beginning with an initiative we’re calling

“The Peace Team”, we’ll identify areas of opportunity – those

where there is a lack of skilled workers, where the skills needed

are relatively easy to acquire and the cost of entry is low, and

where we can leverage our human resources and contacts to

Lisa Schultz, Founder The Peace Project and thewhole9.com

1457

help obtain work for those we

train. We’ll then provide basic skill

training, education on core values

and work ethics. From there,

we’ll put our Peace Teams to work

sporting a distinct advantage that

includes a way of doing business

that is different than the norm. The

Peace Team will be easily identified

in their specially branded Peace

Project t-shirts that immediately

let everyone know these are

specially trained workers who are

also focused on helping to sustain

the peace in Sierra Leone.

Let It Rain!

Access to clean drinking water is one of

the greatest fundamental challenges in

Sierra Leone -- the critical lack (especially

in rural areas) dramatically increases risks

of waterborne illnesses, causes other

health issues, negatively impacts children’s

school attendance (since some kids must

skip school to help retrieve water for

their families and many girls can’t attend

school once their menstruation starts

since many schools have no toilet facilities

and no access to water).

Moving forward into 2012 and beyond, The Peace Project’s

goal is to lead an initiative that will end the clean water

problem in Sierra Leone within three years. This challenge

is big, however, we believe that it’s solvable when tackled

with a well thought-out plan, combined with commitment,

collaboration, passion, determination and faith. As I’ve

become fond of saying, however, although changing the

world takes faith, it also takes money.

This project will cost at least $25 million – a figure which

sounds daunting until you compare it to what actor Leonardo

diCaprio makes for one movie (up to $50 million) or the annual

salary of an athlete like basketball star Kobe Bryant who

makes $25 million in one year (before endorsements!).

In order to be successful, it’s critical to develop momentum

as well as an effective plan, so at the beginning of 2012,

we’ll be rolling up our sleeves and getting to work.

Please visit www.thepeaceproject/water for information

and updates.

In closing I’d like to just share one more thing – all of this

is just the beginning of what The Peace Project will do. I

believe we’re standing at the edge of something greater

than even I dared to imagine when we started.

If you’re ready to change the world, I invite you to join us.

Through creativity and community, we can change the world.

In 2010, The Peace Project’s first Call-for-Artists was instrumental in creating excitement and momentum for The Peace Project. This year, over 400 artists again stepped up for peace, submitting artwork that communicates their vision of peace, as well as their hopes and dreams for a more peaceful world.

Best of Show Rise Up! Award

Peace Maker Award

The Peace Project’s Second Annual Call-for-Artists

In addition to the submission fees paid, artists also generously granted The Peace Project rights to use their artwork to raise money to fund The Peace Project’s initiatives including Operation Rise.

An esteemed panel of judges from both the fine and commercial art worlds selected 150 entries to be shown individually as part of a traveling exhibit. These first ten pieces were selected to receive cash and/or art supplies courtesy of Utrecht. All pieces submitted are included in this year’s Peace Mosaic that travels with the exhibit, plus each submitting artist is represented in this book.

The Peace Project’s Annual Call-for-Artists creates a direct connection and way for artists around the world to use their art to not only inspire people, but to help change the world.

Everybody Born FreeEverybody born free is the principal message of Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The vision for this piece was inspired by my discovery of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights translated into Krio - which is the most widely spoken language in Sierra Leone. My interpretation of Article 1 is my avowal of faith in sustainable peace in Sierra Leone.

In just one year, The Peace Project’s tiny team (including the tireless and patient Heidi Huber) has been joined by thousands of people around the world who have stepped forward in countless ways to help.

The Whole 9’s worldwide community of creatives has led the charge, and has been joined by individuals and organizations including The Diamond Manufacturers and Importers Association, merchants, restaurants and others who have provided items for our silent auctions, to musicians who have donated usage of their songs, to countless others who have been available at a moment’s notice to do whatever it takes to get the job done.

Whether you’re included on the following pages or not, we hope you’ll accept not just our sincere thanks, but the thanks of the people of Sierra Leone whose lives you’ve helped to change. Our hope is that, in some small way, they have also changed yours.

“Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” – Melody Beattie

The beautiful people of Sierra Leone who joined hands and hearts to bring life to Operation Rise and our other initiatives – most notably Edward Bockarie and Joseph Kange from Community Association for Psychosocial Services.

One thousand-plus artists who have submitted work to The Peace Project’s two Call-for-Artists.

Mahimbo Mdoe of UNICEF who said yes at a critical time and paved the way for Operation Rise to happen, as well as the rest of the team at UNICEF that shepherded our crutches through Customs and transported them to distribution sites countrywide.

Dave Zuern and the team at Invacare who have worked miracles and been first in line to do “whatever it takes” each time they’ve been asked (and on some when they weren’t).

Sherry Rand and Salvatore Sinare, who have once again worked miracles to get this book done in record time.

Michele D’Acosta, Sergi Agusti, Mohamed Njai, and Jeremy Fokkens, plus all the other fine folks who were on the ground in Sierra Leone in the days leading up to Operation Rise.

Ronny Friedman, Ronnie VanDerLinden, Ben Kinzler and the other members of the DMIA who stepped forward to support The Peace Project and Operation Rise.

To those we’ve met…and to everyone we haven’t, thank you… ...thank you...thank you...thank you...

When I became involved with The

Peace Project, I began thinking about

what it meant to me. I needed to put

my commitment to this noble cause in

line with all the other noble causes I

have been involved in. This particular

noble cause, The Peace Project, has

many initiatives in Sierra Leone – one

of them being to provide everyone in

need throughout the country of Sierra

Leone with crutches, beginning with distribution on September 21st

2011, World Peace Day.

The civil war left thousands disabled because marauding forces

frightened people into submission by lopping off their limbs. These

amputees need a hand, literally, and they seem forgotten now by news

media who are busy reporting the latest disasters. As Lisa points out,

if one man alone could get Peace Day on the Global Calendar, what

can a community of people achieve? We set out to achieve and are still

in the process of fund raising. Some of my friends have contributed,

but there are some to whom these tragedies are simply overwhelming.

They take me aside and tell me how many tragedies have occurred lately.

There was the 2005 Tsunami, followed by Louisiana’s Katrina, and

after that Haiti, and this year Japan’s Nuclear Disaster. The flooding of

the Mississippi continues, not to mention our sympathy for the entire

It’s impossible to communicate the difference these crutches have made

in the lives of not just the people receiving them, but also in the lives

of their families and their communities, but perhaps through the words

of some of our partners in Sierra Leone you’ll begin to understand:

Edward Bockarie, leader of Community Association for Psychosocial

Service (aka CAPS, our main logistical parner), reported in from Bo,

one of our eight distribution sites: “It was beautiful and peaceful.”

Musa Mansaray of Bo concurred: “Operation Rise was wonderful and

remarkable.”

Joseph Kange from CAPS reported in from Kenema:

“We have just completed distribution. It was incredible and fantastic.

It was the same according to reports from other provincial areas.”

Eku Scottland in Kenema agreed: “I want to assure you that your efforts

and commitment to make that day a success did not go in vain, but

made a positive impact in the lives of recipients, their families and

stake holders in their various communities in Sierra Leone.

As for us, the Physically Challenged Persons in Kenema, this has been

the first World Peace Day that we have commemorated or celebrated.

Collectively we thank you very much for giving us voice and space by

choosing that day for the distribution of crutches, canes, etc. We will

always remember the 21th of September and The Peace Project.”

Eliza WyattBenefactorBrighton, United Kingdom

Thank you from the people of Sierra Leone.

Giving is believing Rise up!

Middle East. I saw the CNN footage as they recounted

the list of tragedies, but what was more disturbing was

the sound of despair that I heard in people’s voices.

‘Perhaps the Apocalypsists are right’, someone said.

Shocked that there is even a name for people who

believe the end is near, I realized the disabling done

by news media coverage. Some of my friends have lost

more than limbs -- they have lost hope, their voices,

their peace of mind.

We have all inherited the planet and the good things in

life that are free -- the sun, water, the sea and seeds,

and we do not like to be reminded that some of us have

managed to grab a greater share of these things. The role

of the benefactor is a privilege, giving is a privilege and

we should not need to be thanked for it. It is enough to

feed the seed of equality (and thereby justice and morality),

see it grow and flower.

Giving is believing.

Abu Amara reported in from Kono: “The World

Peace Day is ended. Assignment accomplished

despite a rainy and challenging day. Thanks for

all your efforts. Sierra Leoneans appreciate you.

A lot of amazing videos and photos captured on

this World Peace Day symbolizing PEACE and

HOPE amidst the challenges. They will make you

laugh and LAUGH and LAUGH!!”
