The “Shepherds”
Anna - Help kids experience some thing new, open their minds and realize that because some one is different doesn’t mean that they should be hated. Show them there are peaceful ways to solve problems.
Holly - Meeting people who they normally wouldn’t meet. Every body is similar. What seems hopeless, Israel more conservative, Palestine more fractured. Change kids perspectives. Individual people make a huge difference, beyond politics.
Zak - People like each other more, and learn that people are people.
Jesse - If people don’t know about something, they get scared and angry. K4P is to show kids about other religions, and not to be afraid. Kids will be calmer and more understanding. Know that there’s more out there. Fun.
Jill “Jewish Advisor” from Jerusalem - Hope that K4P will accomplish in each child a chance to rethink all the preconceived notions that they came in with and that they walk out the doors with a desire to truly be a peace maker. Any one of us in a situation of conflict will try to find the peaceful solution to the problem. making peace is also a challenge to do within yourself, between two people, in a family, in a community, between 2 peoples, 2 lands, 2 cultures, religions of the world, G*D.
My final words for this survey would be to emphasize the importance of meeting the other, breaking stereotypes, opening up opportunities to challenge our thinking. It is when we cross boundaries, (and those can be within the state of Vermont, or in the middle east...) when we really MEET OURSELVES. It is meeting the other that helps us define who we are...and that is the core essence of peace education...whenyou make peace with the other, sometimes your enemy, you first have to know yourself, find peace in yourself. Then you can reach out beyond and find creative ways to make peace around you.
