The Children Stand For Peace UPDATE!!!!!
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Dear Friends of Children,

Here is a quick update on the status of the Children Stand for Peace Initiative that I started in January. I have written to over 300 agencies, world wide, in the hopes of as many as possible completing the following:

(1) Have children around the world “Stand for Peace” by simply having groups of children representing as many parts of our globe as possible, stand and form a peace sign and then forward a picture of it to me, and

(2) Have children write letters describing why it is important to live in a peaceful world.

As I stated before, my goal is to collect as many pictures and letters as possible and coordinate them into a book that would be professionally bound and then forwarded to President Barack Obama.

I would like to thank all of the organizations that have responded so far:
