After volunteering in my own community and getting to know those around me, young and not-so-young, I came to the conclusion that each of us, every moment of the day, can be peace-community builders. As an immigrant myself, I know what it means to feel ‘on the outside’ and I’ve decided to start my own ‘Peace Welcome Club for youth from 4-18’. The ages might surprise you but we are all part of the same human family, no matter what our age is. We can all learn from each other and do many things together; get to know one another; help our community and our environment. All in all together we can build a better world!
