f you’re like me, you’re probably asking yourself “What is the Peace by Piece Nonviolence Youth Group?” When I received an email about this event from the Katrina Warriors Yahoo Group and read it I had to know more. After all, these kids are representing our state this summer in South Africa as Young Ambassadors for Nonviolence and will be coming back to teach non-violent techniques and skills in New Orleans schools and communities. I wanted to know more so I emailed the group organizer, Ahmane’ Glover, and she was kind enough to send me all kinds of information which I’m going to share with you here. But before I cut and paste the info (rather than trying to reword it all which wouldn’t be nearly as effective) I want to put this little bug in your ear:
The group needs to raise $1800.00 to cover to the cost of travel for 3 students and 1 chaperone. You can be a part of this by making a donation on their webpage, Peace By Piece In Action. This is the season for giving and what better way to show confidence in New Orleans’ youth than by contributing to this effort.
