Description: 

Teaching Peace to Families and Children is an ongoing project that affects all of us, including those who are not parents.   Everyone benefits from a society that educates children and families about constructive ways of resolving conflicts, dealing with bullies in a nonviolent manner, and providing healthy outlets for anger and frustration.  Designing posters and flyers for outreach and publicity, speaking to various churches and community groups, writing articles for neighborhood newspapers and newsletters, and tabling at social events are specific ways we are trying to work for diversity and reaching others.   The local chapter of the Children's Defense Fund, the Center for the Healing of Racism and the Houston Area Women's Center are three organizations with which our group is connected.   We continue to seek support in every area of peacemaking and education so that respect and serenity will dominate our community and the world.
