| Interfaith Peace Project in Pakistan STAR Organization (Sympathy, Treatment, Acceptance & Rehabilitation) St. No. 3 Block “A” near Catholic Church Barket Pura, Faisalabad, Pakistan. With support from the UFWP the members of the STAR Organization created and facilitated an Interfaith peace project for the month of September 2010, leading up to the celebration of the International Day of Peace, September 21st, 2010. The project included peace education workshops with teachers from schools and then peace activities with students, see project report for details. 18 schools participated in the teacher's workshop. 15 schools participated in student activities. Peace education, especially dealing with interfaith issues, is a key component to future stability and peace in Pakistan and the surrounding regions. September 2011 this interfaith peace education project was repeated with support from UFWP and others. “Teachers and students can play active role in Inter-Faith harmony and Peace promotion in society” was the 2011 theme of activities and a host of other Pakistan Peace organizations joined in the peace education effort throughout Sept 2011. This important peace program reaches thousands of students in the area surrounding Faisalabad. How children are raised, nurtured and educated will directly impact the future of peace and prosperity throughout the world. This is the key to a future of peace. *if you want to help projects such as these please contact us. U.S. aid reaches very few of these kind of grassroots programs, and this is where the greatest change can occur. |
