We are blessed! We were given a proven peace and conflict resolution curriculum, Are We Together?, by its creator, the late global peace educator, Marg Huber. Marg developed the peace curriculum in Uganda, with war orphans who were members of the African Children's Choir. First, they introduced the curriculum to their own secondary schools. As word got out and schools changed for the better, 7,500 students received the two-year training, plus parents, teachers and community members. The impact was transformative.
CryPeace relaunched the curriculum in Uganda in 2024. We currently have 6 active peace classes, with 4 more due to launch summer 2024. Our dream is to develop evidence of its impact, then expand it through partners like the Ministry of Education. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, within the Ministry of Education, partner NGOs, schools, churches and the Muslim council. The is poised to grow as quickly as human and financial resources allow.
It will take the one global family to accomplish this dream, but that is how peacebuilding has always worked. If you are inspired to help, there are many ways to get involved:
- Do you serve youth? Deliver the curriculum in your context.
- Are you a headmaster? Introduce the curriculum at your school.
- Are you a teacher? Facilitate the curriculum with your students, or mentor global teachers and facilitators in participatory learning methods.
- Are you a peace and conflict studies student? Become a facilitator, or research the impact of the program as your major project.
- Are you a leader? Help us create strategic plans and budgets to make this dream a reality.
- Believe in the project? Help us raise funds to continue and expand the program.
- Want to support raising a generation for peace? Donate to sustain and grow the program.
- $20 will get the curriculum in the hands of one facilitator.
- $350 will fund online meetings for a year.
- $5,000 will fund the expansion into a new region.
- $12,000 will enable us to meet our 2024 budget of $25,000.
- $50,000 will sustain and expand the program in 2025.
It takes a village to raise a child...in the ways of peace. And it pays life-long dividends.
