Tim Shannon is the chair of the Peace Builder Committee in our club. He shared information about the need for activities and plans that focus on building peace here in our community and how District 5240 is having clubs become Peace Builder Clubs. He has formed a committee and its members shared some of the goals that have been set for the year.
We had the opportunity to learn about:
1. The Global Peace Grant in Columbia from Chas Wilson.
2. The Peace Pole project at Simi Valley High School through their Interact Club and how senior citizens here in Simi Valley will be able to participate from Cindy Jacoby.
3. The Partnership of Youth in Community and International Exchange discussion about peace from Michelle Foster. She shared a video about the importance of peace literacy by Paul K. Chappell. Click on the link below to read more about his program and to see his video.
4. The Susan Marie Smith Peace Builder Award for Simi Valley Unified School district students to apply for from Dorina Timbol.
