Hi Nellie
I thought I would share with you a global student project taking place right now as I thought you would be interested.
The #world11kids project is part of the UN's ITUWorld Conference taking place in Geneva, Switzerland in a few weeks time.
We are inviting 10,000 kids from around the world to design solutions to the toughest of world problems and put challenges to the world leaders who will gather at the conference.
We are looking for schools to get involved and thought you might be able to help.
You can find out more here http://world2011.us/
best wishes

Like you ,everyone living in the world is a survivor of some kind of violence. That is why my two books of "Peace Technology" &"Peace TimeCalendar" have been published by authorhouse,Bloomington,Indiana,USA which can be obtained on line from authorhouse.com.Read the books and change the world through blending of "SCIENCE OF MATTER" with "SCIENCE OF SPIRITUALITY" so that all world citizens will be winners and survivors.Promote Peace Education from mother's womb to highest level of education and incorporate PEACE & GREEN TECHNOLOGY in all kinds of professions and human activities.Looking at today's world,one must do this before she/he leaves this world.
PROMOTE THIS AND IDEAS CONTAINED IN MY TWO BOOKS TO SAVE YOUR/OUR FUTURE GENERATION. Can you? If you do it, you will be blessed.
