We’ve reached the halfway point of the #Raise1ToPlayAs1 campaign and we are just shy of the halfway point of our goal. At publish time, we have raised $25,090 to our $64,000 goal. THANK YOU to everyone who has already contributed.
The dollars raised from the #Raise1ToPlayAs1 campaign give our clubs around the world the financial support they need to continue building a culture of peace in their communities. In areas with unimaginable conflict, like Juba, South Sudan, or the Kashmir conflict between India and Pakistan, our clubs bring hope and safe spaces for children to play and learn.
Around the world, children are becoming agents of change and ambassadors for peace. As new clubs are formed, Play for Peace provides written guides translated into over nine languages, as well as backpacks with educational activity materials. We offer the support of team of global volunteers with various expertise to help with public and media relations, designing flyers and event materials, translating material into local languages, writing grants and blogs, and collecting research data. We also help clubs organize events to help children continue to learn and connect globally while activating locally.
