The Dalai Lama of Tibet, Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa and ten other leading Nobel Peace Laureates will join together in Denver, Colorado, on September 15 – 17, 2006 to honor the 10th Anniversary of the PeaceJam Foundation (www.peaceJam.org). Three thousand youth from around the world will participate in this unprecedented global peace dialogue – nine (9) of those students will be from Solano County.
Students from Vacaville High, Country High, Rodriguez High and Solano Community College will fly with PeaceJam adult volunteers to Denver on September 14th to attend this world class conference. “It is a privilege to be able to send so many deserving youth to this incredible international conference,” says PeaceJam Solano founder and president, Sherilyn Henry. “Many people have worked very hard since February to get PeaceJam started locally. I am expecting that the lives of these youth will be forever changed, and that they will be inspired to become more peace- loving and will help transform the planet.”
The public is invited to learn more about PeaceJam and meet returning students and hear about their PeaceJam conference experiences at a reception on Tuesday, September 19th at 7:00 p.m. at Unity Church of the Valley, 350 North Orchard Avenue, Vacaville.
