Peace Indicator: $500

This week’s Peace indicator was sent it by my friend Julian, after a trip he recently took to Haiti.
$500 covers the monthly expenses of the rural community school of 70 students he had the chance to visit.

Julian was struck by the participatory nature of the school, and the work toward teaching lessons of peace and stability in a nation that has seen so much turmoil for decades. Hopefully this chance at education will give these children opportunities to help the community and their country in the years to come.

You can read more about Julian’s visit to the school, including pictures and video on his blog.
