Last week we had to give our final presentation for our Service Learning Project. As I've mentioned before, my group worked with the Tenant Empowerment Network in Southeast, DC.
We presented in front of 4 other groups, which was nice because we got to see what kinds of experiences our friends and peers had. I was impressed with the types of organizations that the other groups had worked with. One group worked at a battered women's shelter, another group worked with the elderly, and one group created an oral healthcare initiative project.
I was really impressed by one organization in particular, the Little Friends for Peace.
"Little Friends for Peace teaches peace skills to children and their adult leaders to counter systemic violence. Through an open and responsive approach to our participants’ goals and by fostering connections among participants and partner organizations, we seek to empower a community of peacemakers with the knowledge and strategies for improved intrapersonal, interpersonal, and communal lives."
I really agree that true change can take place when it starts with children. Check out the website for ways that you can help!
I agree with you true change starts from the youngest but this doesn't mean that the older one should not think about changing themselves!
