Singing for Peace

Oriented for Peace

[Peace is] not just the absence of violence. … but peace is also justice and when there are healthy relationships between people. - Julia in I Traveled to Ireland (Youth Venture)

Play can bring people together and provide positive associations and interactions, but we have to go beyond that in our communities as well. When I look around me I'd like to do more. - Carmen in Playing for Peace (MVS)

Do a year of service and you'll be a different doctor. Do a year of service you'll be a different lawyer. Do a year of service you'll be a different teacher. –Dan in Oriented to Serve (BVS)
