RE: Seeds of Peace
There are many children being impacted by the way of life in areas of conflict. Many organizations around the world don’t help children in these areas. Organizations that help these children are needed dearly daily. Many of the children’s family can’t help the kids because they are either fighting for their lives or are dead. For these kids its hard going through life in the situation they are in. Many of their family and friends are killed in these areas.
Seeds of Peace are trying to change the lives of these kids. They get kids from these areas of conflict and bring them together with other kids and try to change their lives. Seeds of Peace try to change their lives by getting the kids to communicate and open up about what is going on. They teach them leadership and respect for all people. Seeds of Peace work mainly in the Middle East and South Asia area. They got offices in New York and the United Kingdom. They also hold camps in Maine. Their main mission is to plant seeds in the kids so they can change their future and the futures of many other kids. The kids go to camp and learn from one another how the conflict affects one another. They have many programs designed to help the kids. They teach them non-violent actions to take to help them get through any pain they might have towards the other people.
You can reach Seeds of Peace by either emailing them or giving them a call. They have offices set up in New York and Maine. They also accept donations to get their cause further across the world.
SeedsofPeace.org is a very informative website. It gives people so much information on the organization and their mission. It also includes information on how to contact them, donate to them, their mission statement, visions and so much more.
