I loved working at Peace Club Rome. New to peace education myself, I learned a great deal alongside the students. I saw the students’ growth take place right before my eyes. This profound change and enthusiasm with which they embraced the curriculum energized and inspired me. As a future teacher, I now plan to incorporate the principles practiced at peace club into my classroom, to create a community of trust, honesty, love, and security. |
RomeIn fall 2016, Little Friends for Peace partnered with St. John’s University, Ozanam Scholar’s Program to launch Peace Club Rome. It was warmly welcomed by the Marymount International School, where students were given the opportunity to integrate peace education into their after school program. A series of peace building activities, meditation sessions, and open discussions, were tailored to the engaging and inquisitive elementary schoolers. The club marks a milestone, in globally spreading peace principles among youth.

The club is not your typical club. We were always able to find the balance between having fun and learning valuable lessons. It is refreshing to be a part of a movement that is impactful and real. |
ChinaJoy, a former Georgetown volunteer, surprised LFFP with an invitation to China (insert date here). She wanted LFFP to train her IDEAS Camp staff in Social-Emotional Learning. Jerry and Sarah Magno, former camper and veteran peace camp counselor, journeyed to China to demonstrate LFFP's peace curriculum. The first camp was in Beijing and the second in Changsha, outside of Shanghai.

Bring LFFP to Your CountryLittle Friends for Peace is working with Early Warning and Peace Prospect Association (EWAPPA) to help bring Peace Camp and other LFFP peace programs to Yaounde Cameroon. We are hoping to send an LFFP team and start our first pilot program in Cameroon in the near future. As LFFP continues to grow, we are thrilled to be partnering with local groups like EWAPPA to help transform our world!
Little Friends for Peace is blossoming in its international outreach. Starting in El Salvador, we have been growing our hearts of peace, and we recognize a need for peace around the world. We would love to bring this world a little closer and bring our program to your country. Not only will we foster a peaceful environment, but we will partner with your community to adhere to your community's needs. We would be happy to collaborate with you and share our LFFP tools so you can continue building peace in your home!
