From
Sherilyn Henry, President of PeaceJam Solano
18 local high school youth will be attending the PeaceJam weekend conference, April 20-22, at Oregon State University with Irish Nobel Peace Laureate Betty Williams. Students will spend an action-packed weekend learning how Williams helped reduce the violence in Ireland, meeting new friends, practicing nonviolent/compassionate communication, doing community service and personally sharing their local “Peace Projects” with Williams.
The public is invited to learn more about PeaceJam and hear students share their conference experiences at a PeaceJam Reception on Tuesday, April 24 at 7:00 pm at Unity Church of the Valley, 350 North Orchard Ave in Vacaville.
PeaceJam is an educational nonprofit in which twelve (12) Nobel Peace Laureates work directly with youth in weekend conferences to inspire and instill their experience, wisdom, skills and personal friendship to students around the world
Over 500,000 youth, worldwide, have attended PeaceJam conferences with these Nobel Peace Laureates in the past 10 years. Students are inspired! Over 200,000 community service projects have resulted from these conferences as youth learn “they really can make a difference.”
PeaceJam Nobel Peace Laureates include: The Dalai Lama, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Rigoberta Menchu, Betty Williams, Mairead Corrigan McGuire and many more. See www.peacejam.org for more information.
PeaceJam Solano, www.PeaceJamSolano.org is the local organization working with our county’s youth. Six PeaceJam clubs are now meeting weekly at Vacaville High School, Will C. Wood High School (Vacaville), Country High School (Vacaville), Rodriguez High School (Fairfield), Liberty High School (Benicia) and The Boys and Girls Club on Alamo in Vacaville. All high school students are invited to participate. If there is not a PeaceJam club at your school or youth organization yet, please help start one by contacting Sherilyn Henry. We hope to inspire every high school student that they really can make a difference and to give them the opportunity to learn the skills necessary to be a person of peace.
PeaceJam volunteers, financial donors and business sponsors are urgently needed to continue the rapid growth of PeaceJam Solano. With more people involved, we can begin PeaceJam clubs in our county Junior Highs were it is so desperately needed. Please get involved. Good people must get involved now with the youth of today if there is to be hope of world peace tomorrow. We cannot wait. Please contact Sherilyn Henry
