Thanks to all the PeaceJammers at our 2011 Jam, PeaceJam Northwest was AWESOME! We were inspired by Rigoberta Menchu Tum, met new friends, learned a Fijian dance, served in our community and learned about the environment, human rights, and more during our workshops!
check out all of these beautiful people :
Antonio Doss, aka Lyrics, performing a rap :
Some of the comments from the youth:
"I have learned many things about being a peacemaker and leader, and will use that knowledge to encourage those in my community to action."
"Peace is great! And each one of us can make change.
"I will remember the dance, just letting go and having fun, not caring if people thought I was dorky cause they were all doing the same thing."
"This was an amazing experience and thank you so much for making this possible!"
"The youth do have a voice and have something to say. With determination and a nonviolent attitude, people can alter in a postive way the world they live in. That is the PeaceJam spirit, the embodiment of change and hope for everybody." Rigoberta Menchu Tum. |
